Victor, The application was just written to facilitate the maintenance of my own Mapserver based applications. I was tired of always copy/paste various layers from one project to the other. Then I move from shapes to PostGIS, etc, and I have to update eveything in all of them.
I made not much testing and it worked with the current data structure and map definitions I have. I will not try to find a way to circumvent all user-specific map definitions and find a golden way to deal with various escapings of slashes and backslashes and single and double quotes an so forth. But I think the code is reasonably simple to modify it according to your needs. It's not intended to be a real application, I just thought if someone is interested he or she might find it or parts of it useful. You will have your reasons why you escape double quotes, I did not even know that Mapserver supports this. I never use this in the Mapfile and have never seen necessities for it.
