Non-clipped polygon annotation

[Steve Lime]

By not correct, was it grossly misplaced? I'll actually look at the source to see why that
might be. I would have expected  msPolygonLabelPoint()  to produce a label point in
map coordinates and then that would have to be converted to image coordinates before
use.
