Looks like I missed this part in the documentation .. and it's really a 
bad news that Mapserver doesn't support spatial WMS filtering through 
OGC filters.
What would be the alternative way of doing it? My layer definition looks 
like: http://pastie.org/5424011
One solution would be to use Mapscript, rewrite the SQL query and use 
the ST_Within() function.. but I would like to avoid that.
