Any changes in map file from version 3.5 to version 4.8

[Daniel Morissette]

Several changes happened at version 4.0 and are documented in the 
3.6->4.0 migration guide at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MigrationGuide

There may have been a couple of other minor mapfile changes done between 
4.0 and 4.8 that are not documented there or in any other migration 
guide, but I think you'll find most of the info that you need in this 
document.

BTW, while working on this, enable error reporting and/or watch your PHP 
error logfile. The ms_newMapObj() error messages are your friends and 
will tell you on or around which line to look for problems in the 
mapfile or symbolset.
