I successfully compiled the latest 3.7 CVS version (thanks Frank, 
Assefa, and Daniel), and can report that this version is able to display 
WMS layers retrieved from terraservice.

However, now I seem to be running into the 24-bit vs 8-bit problem (I 
think).  The DOQ image retrieved directly into the browser looks great, 
but the image retrieved and rendered by MapServer looks pretty bad. 
Please have a look at http://www.nacse.org/~keon/temp/wms to see what I 
mean.  Ignoring the issues about 24-bit file size vs. 8-bit, etc. for 
the moment, any suggestions on how to get the good-looking image in my 
interface? :-)  I'm using gd 1.8.4, would switching to 2.0.7 help?

Thanks,
Dylan
