Comment(by rduivenvoorde):

 Reviewing:

 - export of postgis statements was wrong
 Is fixed

 - export of layers only still writes whole mapfile
 Is fixed somewhere in history :-)

 - export uses proj4 string to create mapfile projection element
 Fix proposed only working with old project file format. Now whe have a
 authority node which could be used for that. But I'm not sure if mapserver
 will take this (I mean other authorities then epsg ....). Besides this,
 the proj4 string will always work while only using the authority-code is
 more tricky eg on linux case sensitive (EPSG should then be cast to epsg
 etc).

 - export doesn't distinguish between mapfile projection and layer
 projection
 still a 'wantohave', please issue feature request

 - symbology creation changed wrt. to geometry type (e.g. WIDTH instead of
 SIZE, OUTLINECOLOR instead of FILLCOLOR)
 Fixed somewhere in history

 - export dialog select box "units" shouldn't translate UNITS values
 not sure about this, fixed?
