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.

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"
