FW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] dynamic colors in mapfile

[Gerjan Walrecht]

Bart,

To be honest we hadn't looked at this before, looks useful, but at the
moment we do not want to use an extra XML file only to pass a parameter.
(Where do were put the file, etc). Would you also happen to know how to file
a RFC?

Why not use the WMS SLD (Styled Layer Descriptor) interface of Mapserver
for that?
