[mapserver-dev] Heads up, RFC 77 code committed...

[thomas bonfort]

I'm still heavily working on the labels and labelcache to add the
leader line stuff, so the syntax might still evolve a bit, We'll do
the documentation push and rfc updates once things have stabilized a
bit.

The gist of it is there: a class can have multiple labels, each with
their own expression and min/max scale filtering, and with label
styles to render non textual symbology. The labelcache code checks if
the group of labels can be rendered without collisions (for the time
being it's an "all or nothing" approach, a later step will be to allow
rendering a partial label group)
