Hi Paul,

How does this relate, overlap or not to the WMS-C support that Assefa 
has implemented?

Basically he has a patch that implements WMS-C tilecache support in 
mapserver and does metatile rendering and tile slicing and implements a 
tilecache using mapserver.

I have installed the patch here and added support for the configure and 
the Linux build environment. It works really nicely. I think there are a 
few rough edges, but it was pretty easy to setup and plug into openlayers.

Assefa mentioned that he might be interested in working on this at the 
NY Code sprint. I'm sorry I missed the IRC yesterday and will not be at 
the code sprint. I think it might be a good idea if you two got together 
and combined efforts.

Best regards,
