[mapserver-users] Diagnostics

[Steve Lime]

Hi Lars: Such a beast doesn't exist. I'm not sure it would be practical to do so. Things like
data, symbols and even fonts. Generally have to be installed by a user, they don't exist
on a system for MapServer to use. I suppose fonts could be there but a system should
already have a font browser of some sort. Proj.4 could/should/does provide a projection
browser.
