For the FOSS4G WMS benchmarking exercise, I'm trying to match MapServer 
with a GeoServer test that shows curved labels, but only for features 
that are larger than the label.  In MapServer world, this would be ANGLE 
FOLLOW with MINFEATURESIZE AUTO.  I came across the above email 
discussion because I noticed this:

- all roads curved with MapServer 5.6.0beta2: 
http://64.222.187.168/cgi-bin/mapserv560beta2?MAP=/opt/benchmarking/mapserver/vector-by-merged.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=getmap&layers=roads-merged-labeled&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:4269&WIDTH=950&HEIGHT=600&FORMAT=image/png&BBOX=-96.79344550384396,32.76888304968294,-96.78588564285151,32.77365769873079

- minfeaturesize auto curved labels with MapServer 5.6.0beta2 (no curved 
labels are drawn): 
http://64.222.187.168/cgi-bin/mapserv560beta2?MAP=/opt/benchmarking/mapserver/vector-by-merged.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=getmap&layers=roads-merged-labeled-minfeaturesize&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:4269&WIDTH=950&HEIGHT=600&FORMAT=image/png&BBOX=-96.79344550384396,32.76888304968294,-96.78588564285151,32.77365769873079

Was there a ticket for this addition (to be added for 5.6.0)?

Thoughts?
