Swig mapscript missing php/mapscript functions

[woodbri@…]

Swig mapscript is missing following php/mapscript functions:

array getLayersIndexByGroup(string groupname)
array getAllGroupNames()
array getAllLayerNames() 

There may be others I have not had time to check the whole API.

We'll need to get the language specific folks involved with this if (as I fear) 
typemaps are necessary to go from char ** to language specific arrays. Perhaps 
this could be brought up on mapserver-dev briefly...

Steve, can you try and get this fixed on 4.10? At least for Perl, but I think we
should try to get this done for all the languages if we can get the support
because it is really problematic to port mapscript between languages when there
are missing functions.

a few other missing features:
 - the constructor for a new mapobj is missing the second argument (path)
 - imageObj savewebimage function

the mapobj constructor quirk is quite important, as I haven't found out how to
circumvent this without patching the swig interface (the other missing functions
can be mimicked in mapscript)

This will require some typemap work so I don't want to putz with this at this late date. Marking for 5.2...
