Should have done a bit more thinking and reading. A dummy OGR Connection
does the trick:
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION '<OGRVRTDataSource>
<OGRVRTLayer name="Whatever">
<SrcDataSource>ODBC:Whatever/[EMAIL PROTECTED]</SrcDataSource>
<SrcSQL>SELECT %lng% as Longitude, %lat%
as Latitude</SrcSQL>
<GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
<LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>
<GeometryField
encoding="PointFromColumns" x="Longitude" y="Latitude"/>
</OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>'

Subject: points variable substitution
I am wanting to plot one point as provided by a cgi query parameter for a
very simple application, but substituting something like POINTS -113 45 END
with POINTS %lng% %lat% END doesn't work like I thought it would. Any
suggestions for how to pass a point via URL parameters (e.g.
&lng=-113&lat=45) & have it appear on a resultant map?
Thanks,
David P. Shorthouse
