Actually, there is no mapfile. The map definition is built up from a
Django application using Python Mapscript.

Django serves dynamically the config.xml and the context.xml files
needed by mapbuilder based on the metadata stored in the database. It
also generates appropiate color scales, etc, for a built-from-scratch
MapObj. Then mapbuilder requests the time slices needed. This time
information gets converted to a where clause for PostGIS. I think I
don't need a tileindex, since the data is in the db.

¿Any suggestions?
