Indeed.  When I first started playing with mapserver, I went totally OCD 
trying to compile in every possible format it would support.  Was really 
kinda fun.  (Dont know what hdf5 is, never seen it, never needed it, 
cant say as I ever will... but I have support for it! Yeah!)

Its amazing how many formats that mapserver/gdal/ogr support.  (Dude! 
Its like Pokemon!  Gotta get 'em all!)

Huh.. I'm gonna need to lay off the crack again. :-)
