I agree this would be a welcome change.  BTW, if you create a new 
MAXIMGSIZE directive then don't forget that the test on MAXIMGSIZE 
should be applied to the WMS as well (mapwms.c).  Also it should not be 
possible to change those maxsize values via the CGI interface.  Perhaps 
a bug should be created for this to track everything including required 
updates to the docs, etc.
