[Chameleon] XMLThemeLegend layer names

[Paul Spencer]

Eric,

the XMLThemeLegend should use the layer name for checkboxes.  Note that 
the behaviour of mapserver changed recently with respect to this.  The 
change in behaviour was such that layer names from imported contexts may 
no longer be unique.  I believe an optional flag was added to force 
unique layer names, perhaps Chameleon was not updated to add that flag?

I'll check into it with Daniel and Assefa and let you know.  In the mean 
time, please file a bug.

Cheers,

Paul
