Jeff,

 I have placed the fibidi library that I used to test the Arabic characters support:

  http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/tmp/assefa/fribidi-0.19.1.zip

 The zip contains the src code + the built objects (.lib and .dll). It should
work with the current settings of nmake.opt in mapserver5.2.0

 After the build mapserv.exe -v should advertise: SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI

I have added fribidi2 into ms4w-2.2.8-beta, which if you want to try is
available at: http://dl.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/
