aha! if Lars had used the separate maplab list, I would have never
known about this. advantage case for a single, unified list.

however, since I am not using maplab at this point in time, this is
just bandwidth hogging trivia. advantage case for separate lists.

so, back to love-all. 

How in heck did maplab manage its own list whilst other requests for
separate postgis list or separate lists for each flavor of mapscript
got assigned to devnull.

oh well.
