[Mapserver-inspire] MapServer and INSPIRE

[Stephan Meißl]

All,

Stefan did a great job in the summer-of-code project. However, the code
needs some polishing here and there e.g. at the code sprint in Denver we
discussed some adjustments that are needed.

The major remaining part for full INSPIRE compatibility, as far as I
understand, is the support for arbitrary grouping of layers to any
depth. I need to take a closer look at ticket #1632 to seriously
calculate the remaining work.

Anyway, we'd definitely be willing to look into this but some funding
would be very much appreciated :).

Stephan
