FYI

I have to make the following changes to mapscript.i
inorder to get a working Python mapscript from the 
CVS sources

I have needed to do this for a while

Below I believe

 int contrain(rectObj *bounds, double overlay) {
    return msConstrainRect(bounds,self, overlay);
  }

should be

 int contsrain(rectObj *bounds, double overlay) {
    return msConstrainExtent(bounds,self, overlay);
  }

Not sure about the others
