Improvements to MapServer labelling

Reported by: dmorissette Owned by: dmorissette
Priority: high Milestone:
Component: MapServer C Library Version: 4.1
Severity: minor Keywords:

Description 

MapServer labelling wish-list:

- Ability to spline labels (along streets for instance)

- Ability to assign priority to certain layers or classes for labelling would
  be nice - for example, a class for capital cities could have priority over 
  a class for small cities.

Version: 4.0 → 4.1 
Definitely not in 4.0, maybe in 4.1?  

Note that the spline labelling may be available via MapText in 4.1, but that 
would not be free.

About layer priorities, I really think we should do that in 4.1

Prority will be a nice feature for sure !

At least a layer with "FORCE true" should not overlap labels of a layer with
"FORCE false"
