I'm not a big Windows person, however I'm guessing the IIS console may have
a setting in which you can set environment variables.  If not, perhaps,
logged in as the user of the web server, enviroment variables can be set
through the OS.

Someone with IIS savvy would have some better advice here.

map&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
I want it like
http://blablabla/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=s2ex8.map&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

This way, I have to put the Mapfile at the root, right?? Or perhaps I missed
something....?
