Have been using some git trunk back from may because of the GAMMA Option I
needed for Ocean Polygons.

Just updated to latest trunk to check if the problem still exists and
unfortunately it does.

To clarify what this bug is all about: It is not about mapserer not honoring
the DPI given in the mapfile (it does), but about the generated file
(pdf/svg) not knowing about this value. This results in PDF Files which are
way to huge in terms of real-world length units.

I will just have a look at the bugtracker if there is something like this
already reported.
