MapServer 4.10 with DSO PHP5 -> GD issues

[Guillaume Sueur]

I've managed to make php-5.1.4-gd and gd-2.0.34 work together (php with 
its own gd and mapserver with the system one)! I think there are 
compatibilities issues depending on the version used with each. As GD is 
updated AFTER php-gd, I think one could use a gd version newer than the 
php one. but still no imageresize in the standard gd. Weird.
