Hi Markus,

Your code is good and I'm sure that many of us will be applying your
patch to use it.  I will.  MapScript needs (IMO) more active
developers, and I hope that you will want to continue to work on it.

If I create a new issue in the tracker to follow up on our discussion,
may I add you to the list of cc: addresses?

cheers,
Sean
