[mapserver-dev] drop shadow for labels

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Ahhh, sorry. I believe that you can include the label block twice, the 
first time you draw the shadow, with some offset and using your shadow 
color, the second time you draw it with the foreground color.

You should open an issue against the docs they are not correct. There 
might be an FRC that covers this change, but I'm not seeing one.
