It was not supported until now, but I added it this morning (it's in
CVS).  There is a new "wms_opaque" layer metadata that is used to
control the opaque layer attribute in the capabilites.  This applies to
version 1.1.0 only and if "wms_opaque" is not defined then we assume
"opaque=0" as stated in the spec.

Now, about the other question that you had sent outside the list:

I don't know about the builds at UMN, but there is one that's about 2
weeks old on our site and it includes WMS server support:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/php4.0.6_php_mapscript_35.zip
(I guess the filename does not suggest it, but it includes both the PHP
DLL and mapserv.exe)

We'll try to put a new one on our site later this week with the latest
fixes in it, and compiled with the latest PROJ and GDAL libs.
