[osgeo4w-dev] New package for Mapserver 6.4

[Jerome Villeneuve Larouche]

Well, Python-Mapscript is for 6.2 only so with 6.4.1 in the Mapserver 
directory it only replaces 5.2. You can still install Mapserver 6.2 from 
Mapserver6 and then Python-Mapscript. For the setup.hint file, I only 
need to add libfreetype to the current one and it'll work.

So I think that leaving mapserver 6.4.1 in the Mapserver directory would 
be best.
