I do see that for a MAP.LAYER that has no LABELITEM (which at least for me
then implies that it has no CLASS.LABEL), that layerObj.getLabelitem() does
return null, which is a workaround to figuring out whether or not a layer
has
a label.

I also do see that layerObj.getLabelitem() is also missing from the
mapscript
docs.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention before, this is mapserver-5.0.0
