I am working on a solution where you can specify the dbf-filename seperate
from the shapefile-filename with php mapscript. The main advantage is you
don't have to waste space for the copies of the shp/shx-files. You have to
use php, but you can join/switch your dbf-files easily. If somebody is
interested in, I will post the code modifications to the list.
