PDF Output

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

The 4.4 release only supports GD and GDAL formats for WMS. This is
described in bug 455
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=455). The next
release will have a mechanism (not yet decided) where the user can
specify the additional formats that he wants to publish in the capablities.
