Ok, Darren has found a little glitch with respect to the index page for ms4w. I
am sure you geeks are all aware of this, but the url link to validate weather
mapserv_36.exe and 40.exe in the cgi-bin is not valid for a windows installation
package.

Currently in ms4w_0.6.zip the URL's on the index page are

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv_36
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv_40

This I am told by Zak is valid for a Linux machine, but not Windows. And since
this installer package is called MapServer For Windows (ms4w) I think it should
be reflected. Also, we should not leave the guess work to the user. 

The URL's should be for Windows:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv_36.exe
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv_40.exe

v0.9 contains the following links:

mapserv_36.exe
mapserv_40.exe
mapserv_42.exe
mapserv_421.exe

All links are valid on the opening index.phtml page.

Personally, if u ask me MS4W should only contain one version of
mapserv/phpmapscript...it's way too confusing to beginning users to see all of
the versions.  their question: "which one do u use?"  Anyway, guess that's for a
later date.
