On my site, I have an option that I called "Make your own Map" where the
user
selects any datasets from a list (generated from a mySQL database) and
then
it creates a .map file and .html template on the fly. Note that there is
still 
a lot to do in this app (allow reordering of datasets, resymbolizing of
datasets...) Right
now I have it so that it is assigning symbol colors randomly, similar to
what
happens when you add a shapefile in ArcView.
