new mapserver site for Central America; thanks for all the help!

[Puneet Kishor]

Hi Emilio,

Nice work. Some feedback from the Mac side... looks nice in Camino, but 
the image is misplaced in Safari. The image shows up in the top left 
corner of the browser instead of in the image box. Hope you can fix 
that.

Puneet.
