No subject

(much more then I suspected!):
- polygon fill color (mapinfo_brush_foreground)
- outlinecolor/line color (mapinfo_pen_color)
- line size (mapinfo_pen_width)
- symbol size (mapinfo_symbol_size)
- label size (mapinfo_text_height)
- label angle (mapinfo_rotation)
- label string (mapinfo_text_string)
- symbol for points (mapinfo_symbol_shape)*
- symbol for lines (mapinfo_pen_pattern)*
- Symbol for polygon fills (mapinfo_brush_pattern)*

* here you have to define corresponding MapServer symbols, the using a
Lookup (ValueMapper) in FME to assign the new values
