QUERYMAP hilite color isn't applied when using a color from a data source

[aboudreault]

Even if we set a QUERYMAP section with a hilite color, the color will not be applied when msDrawQueryLayer() is called if using a color from a data source. However, this works properly if we just set a RGB color directly in the mapfile. You can reproduce this easily with PHP/MapScript by calling the queryByRect() function on a layer and draw the query with the drawQuery() function. Here's an example of a layer setting (the color came from a DBF file) :

STYLE
      OUTLINECOLOR [outline_color]
      COLOR [color]
      SIZE  6    
END
    LABEL
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        FONT "Arial"
        ANGLE AUTO
        SIZE 12
        POSITION AUTO
        OUTLINECOLOR [outline_color]
        COLOR [color]
    END   

The problem is in the mapdraw.c file. The msDrawShape() function that call the msBindLayerToShape() function and it override the color that has been set by the msDrawQueryLayer() function. This can be fixed by simply add a parameter to the msDrawShape() function (and msBindLayerToShape()) that means to tell the msBindLayerToShape() function if the color/outline color of the shape must be "binded" with the data source.

Daniel, can you review the patch please ? I'm wondering if one of the conditions that i added in the maputil.c file is needed (the one for MS_LABEL_BINDING_COLOR style binding).

Fixed in r7922

Do you think this should be backported to 5.2 ?
