tile4ms aborts due to DBF fields not matching

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Richard,

All the files you want to add to a tileindex MUST have the same 
attribute definitions and they must be in the same order. The first file 
you add to the tileindex is records the attribute columns, their names, 
types, and probably their widths, then as each additional file is added, 
it is check against the original file and if it does not match you get 
the error you are seeing. This is required by mapserver.
