[mapserver-users] Tile Mapping Service with Mapserver ala Virtual Earth and Google

I recall hearing that the 5.2 Mapserver has support for Tile Mapping
Service for easy integration with Google and Virtual Earth.

Are there any examples of using this floating around aside from the RFC

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-43

>From the RFC, I'm guessing my layers should support the VE and Google
Earth projections or does that automatically happen if my data is
projected? and TMS is not another layer type such as the case when
Mapserver acts as a WMS client.

More specifically 
I gather that this is a Mapserver living in a VE/GMap model rather than
(VE living in a Mapserver model).  It is not the server grabbing VE
tiles and server/overlaying and returning a single image (which hmm I
suppose may not be legal anyway or at least not so for Google).


Thanks,
Regina
