In V4.0, OVERLAYCOLOR and all OVERLAY* parameters are supported only for 
backwards compatibility in the mapfiles.  Instead of using OVERLAY*, you 
would create a second style in your class for the overlay part and use 
the color and size parameters of the second style to set what used to be 
the OVERLAYCOLOR and OVERLAYSIZE.  The methods to create styles and set 
their parameters are in the 4.0 docs.
