[mapserver-dev] REST config API

[Stephen Woodbridge]

This might be a little off topic, but ...

I think it would be nice if we had a tool that could take mapfile and 
generate an ArcMap MXD(?) or whatever the equivalent to a mapfile is for 
ArcMap. Maybe this is nothing more than another XSLT file the remaps the 
mapserver XML mapfile into MXD file. And may be do the same in the 
reverse direction.
