Debug Logging

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Also, I think there is a bug in the debug logging or at least a
documentation problem on MS 4.4.1

DEBUG ON
In the map section, then layer timing information goes to stderr which
ends up in the webserver error.log. You can place DEBUG ON in LAYER
block(s) but it seems that this sets the global flag and you get the
same out as if you put it once in the map section, (ie: you don't get
more info by placing it in the LAYER block.

LOG "/path/to/log_file.log"
then only a single line gets written to the log file for each map
regardless of the setting for DEBUG
