[Ubuntu] MapServer 6.4 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Randal Hale]

Oh - I don't worry at all about it being fixed - It's why I like this 
community. As a guy that just deals with polygons and attributes and is 
at best a "programming hack" I can make a suggestion/observation and 
things happen.

So thank you to all of you again for your work.

Randy
