WMS projection error...

[John Cole]

I think this would be a good note to put on the mapserver faq.  Since I
found it by accident.  I had set everything properly though the UI and never
saw the QGIS local entry.  So it's possible to do everything right and still
have issues :-)  Easy fix though, if you can find it.

/me curses packagse that don't respect boundaries!

This is why FWTools takes this odd approach of installing all it's stuff
in one sub-tree, changing no external environment, and running in a self
contained fashion.  Now, if all windows packages did the same we would
have no more DLL hell!
