[ms4w-users] ms4w and kamap CVS image saving

[Paul Spencer]

try using an absolute path to the kacache folder.  The difference may  
be that the code that creates the directories does so relative to the  
tile.php script whereas the code that saves the map image does so  
relative to the map file location (because that's inside mapserver).
