Paul,

This looks good.

I presume that you are asking how to get the compile time option to be 
reflected in the code?

#ifdef IGNORE_MISSING_DATA
    map->on_missing_data = MS_LOG;
#else
    map->on_missing_data = MS_FAIL;
#endif

and something similar wherever the layer object os created and 
initialized to its default values.

And in the configure script, --enable_ignore_missing_data just needs to add

-DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA to the list of defines passed to the complier.
