[mapserver-dev] Storing multiple output formats in mapfiles

[thomas bonfort]

Tamas,
Looking at the code, I believe this is done because the map's
outputformat has already been written (just before the loop you
copied). So this test should be maintained, however I would use the
string comparison on the outputformat's name rather than driver.

regards,
thomas
