mapserver 4.10.2 and debug informations

[Daniel Morissette]

With MapServer 4.x, LOG is only used to log errors (as you noticed) and 
all DEBUG output goes to stderr, in the case of Apache that is Apache's 
error_log file. Note that you can also set DEBUG ON at the layer level 
to get more debug info for specific layers.

Starting with MapServer 5.0, the DEBUG output location is controlled by 
the CONFIG "MS_ERRORFILE" "/path/to/logfile" directive, and support for 
multiple debug levels has been added. More info is available in RFC-28: 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-28
