MapServer with SLD support

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

the binaries from Maptools include SLD support.

But you have to remember that Mapserver does not support named styles. So
it always expects &STYLES= to be empty (the default style according to
OGC).

If you want to use an SLD (user style) you can e.g. use &sld=http:// etc.

Best regards,
Bart
