Thread safe support for postgis connections

Reported by: unicoletti Owned by: refractions
Priority: high Milestone:
Component: PostGIS Interface Version: 4.4
Severity: major Keywords:
Cc: sgillies@…

Description 

On the mapserver website it is stated that postgis connections are not thread
safe because the bit order is stored globally. Since I will need to use postgis
connections and I had some spare time I have looked into it and created the
patch attached.

Since I still work with mapserver 4.4.2 (because it appears to be a proven
platform for Java Mapscript) the patch applies cleanly against that version, but
is should not be difficult to port it to newer versions.

I have not done extensive testing as the modification seems trivial, of course I
might be completely wrong. This is my Xmas present ;-) !
