I found "msDrawShape(...)" in maputil.c. It seems to use proj.4, and could
perhaps be used directly from mapsde.c to draw the retrieved shapes.
On the other hand, "msDrawShape(...)" currently does not seem to be called
from anywhere.
Has it been tested/used?
Could it do most of the job that msDrawSDELayer(...) (in mapsde.c) currently
does?
