antialiasing stuff

[Steve Lime]

I think in the next version we could expose the hardness setting to mapfile
tweaking... What's the equivalent terminiology in something like SLD?

cool, thanks :)  I hadn't tried it, thought I would ask first.  I've  
managed to achieve almost the desired effect by jacking the hardness  
to 0.95 and fixing the gd bug for 1 pixel lines since I asked so  
maybe we won't end up going this route.

Cheers

Paul

PS: any chance of having a HARDNESS keyword at the style level?
