If you have OGR/GDAL installed on your system then the OGRINFO program
can return you the extents of a layer.  See the OGRINFO examples at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/ogr-howto.html#ogrinfo

Also, a getExtent() method has been added to the shapeFileObj class in
MapScript version 3.5 (Perl or PHP)... so that's another option.
