[OpenLayers-Users] NASA Worldwind Layer

Some of you (including David Bitner ;)) may be aware of NASA WorldWind
tile caches, a URL scheme saving pre-cached tiles at certain zoom
levels. 

OpenLayers now has a Layer class to support these. You can see an
example directly in SVN at
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/worldwind.html  -- the Bathy layer
has a Level Zero Tile Size of 36, while landsat has a tile size of 2.25.

No layer specific hacks here: everything is defined in the constructor. 

This isn't fully tested + Ready for Release yet, but it is working, so I
thought I'd get it out there so people could take a peek at it and play
with it.

(Power of OpenLayers, wheee...)
