[geotk] code for parsing WMS Capabilities docs

[johann sorel]

Hi,

I guess we have something that looks like metadata database : MDWeb for 
exemple which purpose is to store metadatas or also the Coverage-SQL 
database. But even if they can store thoses informations I'm not sure 
that's what you are looking for.

About time and elevation, the current rendering engine of geotoolkit 
pending can handle thoses, Multi-dimentional navigation is not a sweet 
dream, works for coverages, features and WMS (by sending the appropriate 
time and elevation parameters in the query).
Here is a small demonstration on features :
