SWIG generates this file, so it will not be listed in CMakeLists.txt

For example, now for the last 2 years I've had to manually include the 
generated file 'mapscript.php' for Windows users, since MS4W switched to 
using PHPNG mapscript (SWIG).

I sent this message here, and updated that ticket report, to try to 
explain that this file must be added into the next php-mapscript-ng package.
