Maximum number of class styles, 5, has been reached

[Ludwig Max Brinckmann]

I am hitting the threshold because I have the three styles on multiple zoom
levels.
But in Primagis there is now a way of combining the symbolizers, so that it
would equate one style per zoomlevel. I am not sure how this maps down to
mapserver, but I will give it a try tomorrow. Sean is also helping me out
with this. (The worst would be recompiling, so the issue is not exactly
pressing).
