[OpenLayers-Users] Mouse position control

[Erik Uzureau]

Note that this patch has been applied to both trunk/openlayers
and branches/openlayers/2.2, so if you are working from trunk
an svn update should do the trick, and it will be part of the next
release candidate as well.

Ticket #372 closed (http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/372#preview)

Great work everyone!
