[maplab-users] Mapfile Map EXTENT parameter

[Zak James]

The extents need to be in the units defined in the map file.
>From http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/new_users/index_html/ :

"Unless you are adding layers that fall within the same geographic
area as the demo, modify MAP EXTENT to match the extent of your data.
To determine the extent of your data, you can use OGRInfo. If you have
access to a GIS, you could use that as well. Map EXTENT needs to be in
the units of your output projection."
