Ok, you have piqued my interest! Had to go out and look at Google's map
API. Way cool stuff. Anyway, how do you overlay a Mapserver map on top of
a Google map?

There was some great work (by Kyle Mulka which was later picked up by Just
van den Broecke) that allows you to use Google Maps as a WMS client. With
Mapserver on the backend and Google Maps on the front, you can put together
some really sweet solutions.. all the data crunching power of mapserver with
the usability of Google Maps:

here's the javascript libs

and a decent example

The source should be fairly self-explanatory. It's a neat solution since you
can use your own base data yet still get Google/NavTeq roads overlay (check
