Google and WMS can both be used as basemaps for the same map: in that
way, you can swap between a WMS and Google, and compare the data, or use
the Google interface to browse to your location, then switch to viewing
your WMS data. 

Currently, the only kind of WMS you would want to lay down on top of
Google Maps would be untiled WMS, which does properly respect the base
map and 'stretch' itself appropriately.
