MrSid questions

[Christopher R. Thorne]

Hello all,
I have a MrSID file and of course I would like to add it to a mapfile. I 
  am using ms4w and of course MrSID is not configured to be read. I have 
been doing some research on the archives or gdal and mapserver. Here is 
what I know or think I know.

you must get a licenses to read a MrSID file, which I read here 
(http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/frmt_mrsid.html)

I was wondering if someone could give me some more information on what 
would be involved in adding a MrSid file to a mapserver app. I don't 
normally use rasters or building my own windows binaries, or linux 
compiling for that matter. :)

Chris
