A comment is written to the top of each page the mapserver produces that
does give the version. I'll add code that produces this when no query is sent
as well. (eg. http://.../cgi-bin/mapserv with no params)

I'm all for this, but would prefer so build this as a separate application. MapServer
would still handle the map drawing but answering the add, delete and edit requests
would be handled by a second specialty app. Java would be necessary for coordinate
capture. Client would be the tricky part, code to do the deletes, adds etc. already
exixsts (minus the file locking etc.).
