It seems that GD was assuming that the background should be treated as 
transparent if no specific transparent color was given in an extension block.
I have modified the driver to report the "SBackgroundColor" as NODATA but
not to alter the trasnparency of the color table entry.  Also modified MapServer
to recognise NODATA settings for greyscale and colormapped single band input
rasters (not going through scaling).
