Return of IMSEMU

[Paul Ramsey]

Probably not, but that should be simple enough to add. Might need to do
some extra bindings in mapscript for ESRI-WKT parsing though. Howard did
this already in PyIMS, but the binding is in python to ogr, not in
mapscript. If one is willing to accept a few failure cases in the short
term for those WKT examples where ESRI is notably non-standard the
existing projectionfromwkt binding should work fine.
