Sadly to hear. I would try to change legend code to check is it raster
layer and treats it as one "object" and in case of vector checks all
classes. But now I think crumble it to class level was logical mistake,
because I'm not able (am I right?) to turn off specific class, only
layer. So checks map->numlayers should be enough.
Maybe there is another (better) technique to make legends in mapscript?
