[mapserver-dev] GRID setting in mapfile doesn't work as expected

[thomas bonfort]

Tamas,
Your proposition seems OK to me. I'd use a graticuleObj* in the
layerObj rather than a graticuleObj, to keep ressources consumed to
the minimum (as in practice there would be at most one layer with the
need for a graticuleobj).

best regards,
thomas
