UDig & Mapserver WFS

[Paul Ramsey]

This is a uDig problem. We are known to work with earlier mapserver 
versions, but later ones changed geometry representations a bit and 
confused us.
We are working on WFS support now against Ionic servers, and hopefully 
those fixes will also fix the later versions of mapserver.
