Steve,

Well, I'd say the main reason to not call msSetup() in mapserv
and shp2img is to ensure we haven't developed a requirement for it.
On the other hand, if it is now a requirement, we should make sure we
do it everywhere.

BTW, I think GEOS is now (geos 3.x) self initializing.  So we only
need to call msGEOSSetup() if we want to install our own error
handlers.

Best regards,
