MapServer

I've been working with MapServer a bit. I needed to spit out maps of states with counties painted different colors depending on a count. Wouldn't it be nice to have a function you could call and pass it the name of the state, an array of county-count pairs, a legend setting which count ranges get which colors, and a width and height? It'd be nice if it had a smart caching function, too.

So I present a tiny but fun maps.module, in a contrib cvs repository near you. And if you're a MapServer wizard, improvements are welcome.
