[Tilecache] Tilecache and MapServer variable substitution

[Brian.Walawender at noaa.gov]

Guillaume,

We have actually been discussing doing the same thing here so we can reduce the number of mapfiles we have.  We successfully added in the WMS-T option to Tilecache, including storing each date time cache file in a separate timestamp directory under the layer name and this has worked well for us.
