Using GoogleMap and WMS on the same map seems more difficult than I 
expected. I was able to put them together, but they "don't fit". It 
seems to be a projection problem. I even found a reference on the web, 
but it doesn't work here (I got a msProcessProjection(): Projection 
Library error. latitude or longitude exceeded limits).

If someone had better luck on this issue, please share it ;)

By the way, thank you very much for such great help.

Best regards.
