Today's CVS, labels that follow street segments and antialias lines

[Steve Lime]

Will have to check the source (and Benj) on the MINDISTANCE and
labels that follow segments. Our integration plan was to certainly allow
for that to work but I'd have to go back to the source to see if the 
check is being bypassed somehow.

Also added TRANSPARENCY ALPHA to the LAYER, but still not AA.
Do I need to define a special output format?

Also MINDISTANCE does not seem to be working with ANGLE FOLLOW.

I will recheck everything on this end and make sure everything is built 
corectly.
