[Mapserver-dev] include directive for mapfiles

One thing to note/remember when moving to CPP processing of your map 
files (particularly if you are retrofitting an existing file set) is 
that you have to convert all your # comments to c-style comments, either 
// or /* */ blocks. Took me a little while to figure out that my errors 
weren't caused by my code, but by my comments. :)
