Mapserver Documentarians,

Could I get some one to make a minor update to the Utilities doc page at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/utils.html

For the tile4ms utility, please document:

tile4ms -h

usage: tile4ms <meta-file> <tile-file> [-tile-path-only]
<meta-file>     INPUT  file containing list of shapefile names
                (complete paths 255 chars max, no extension)
<tile-file>     OUTPUT shape file of extent rectangles and names
                of tiles in <tile-file>.dbf
-tile-path-only Optional flag.  If specified then only the path to the 
                shape files will be stored in the LOCATION field
                instead of storing the full filename.


The -tile-path-only is missing and even knowing it existed I have to
look at the source to find it. OK, it didn't occur to me to look at the
command line help until after I looked at the source - so call me a
programmer :)

Anyway, it would be a big help, Thanks.

Oh, I will update wiki.
