DEBUG Output not going where it should

Description (last modified by dmorissette)

After a great deal of pointless searching, I finally found the output of the DEBUG tracking in the Apache error log.

The documentation for the DEBUG element reads: 

DEBUG [on|off]

    Enables debugging of the map object. Verbose output is generated
    and sent to the standard error output (STDERR) or the MapServer
    logfile if one is set using the LOG parameter in the WEB object.

Either this documentation is wrong, or it doesn't write to the correct place. I would suggest that we actually make it log to the logfile if one's set.

Doc was wrong, DEBUG output always goes to stderr AFAIK. Bug 709 should make
things more user-friendly.

MS RFC 28 should solve this: ​http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-28

RFC-28 is implemented in r6271, but I'll keep this bug open until the documentation has been updated.
