[mapserver-users] connect label to features

[Jeff McKenna]

Luca, I've done more testing and in fact I can get point & line features 
(with label leader lines)  to work with that mapfile.  I can now see 
Thomas' point, that this is a documentation issue (likely when I 
originally documented this I could only get it to work with polygons, 
but now when I test I can get points,lines,polygons to work by adapting 
that same mapfile).

I'll fix that document now.

If you post your mapfile and data I can test your data locally here.
