Mapscript mapObj.save() to write out multiple outputformats

[Shoaib Burq]

Humm... not so sure if the map.draw applies to what we are trying to
do... according to the Mapscript API docs map.draw() returns an
imageObj, while we are trying to write-out a mapfile with multiple
outputFormat definitions in it.

This functionality should be part of the map.save() method but I am
beginning to think it's not implemented.
