[mapserver-dev] PJ pool

[Paul Ramsey]

So, I read over mappool.c while watching the election coverage and it
looks pretty convincing to me... I'd like to have one for projections.
 I feel silly just essentially cloning it, but it works, and a
slightly simpler version would serve the purpose.  Seems like the main
issues are thread safety, since these things will be global.
