Is it possible to only use a subset of an image that is referenced in a 
mapfile?  In the mapfile below there are two FAA sectional charts.  There are 
borders on the charts that I don't want on the final composite image.

If the "EXTENT" actually clipped the image before rendering, I could get what 
I'm looking for, but it only seems to be used to determine overlap with the 
bounds of the output image (and not always then).

I'm sure I could use something like gdal_translate to preprocess all of the 
charts, but that a really tedious sort of task and results in extra images 
lying around.  Would prefer to use source images and have the mapfile pull the 
correct bits out of them.

The charts are available at:
