Mark,

I *think* the DMSolutions builds of MapServer do not include JPEG2000 support.

All GDAL supported formats are listed on the GDAL web pages, but many require
additional libraries some of which have various licensing restrictions.  So any
given "build" of GDAL will have only some subset of the potential formats.

The OpenEV_FW releases I prepare do include MapServer and JPEG2000 support
but they don't include PHP support or some of the other great stuff that
DM Solutions does.  Sometimes it is hard to get a build with everything.

PS. gdal-config is really only available on unix.

PPS.  If you have the commandline programs like gdalinfo you can use
"gdalinfo --formats" to get a list of supported formats in that build.

Best regards,
