Pericles,

I downloaded and gave a quick try to the ms34gif_gdal_nightly.zip and it
seems to be working OK with MapInfo TAB files.

BTW, I know all these acronyms make things very confusing, but I have a
small clarification to make for the benefit of all users: you talk about
GDAL here, but I assume that you meant OGR, which is part of the GDAL
source tree... GDAL and OGR share some code and are part of the
same source code package, but are 2 different things:
  - GDAL is for raster file formats
  - OGR is for vector file formats
and at this point, MapServer only supports OGR's vector file formats...
(unless someone added support for GDAL's raster formats recently?).  

Thanks a lot for making this available!
