[MapServer]"testMapScript.py" with "EPSG" in test.map generates error #687

Executing the Python "testMapScript.py" test generates a projection error.  This
error is caused by the use of string "EPSG" upper case in the map file
(test.map).  On Linux "epsg" must be used.

Fedora Core 1

This isn't a mapscript bug.

Best practice is to set up a symbolic link EPSG -> epsg.

I think that setting a symlink is not intuitive for me.  I discussed with Daniel
and he has some comments to do.  So I put him in CC.

You're right, I should change it to "epsg".

Thanks for changing your mind on this one Sean.  Using lowercase 'epsg' is more
correct IMHO since this is a PROJ init string and not an OGC SRS name in this
case, so the value has to be lowercase since this is the way PROJ is distributed.
