I'm still a total newbie to mapserver and haven't had much time to 
tinker with it yet, unfortunately. But that looks easy enough.
So, basically, I 'find' all pngs/pgws, move them from the subfolders 
into one folder and run gdaltindex over the folder. And that creates a 
shapefile which I use as data source? Let's try that.
