 The final holy grail to complete mg-desktop is tiled map support. The
 [http://brutile.codeplex.com BruTile] library takes out a lot of grunt
 work in calculating the tile planes and the required tiles to fetch. By
 adding a custom provider to support the Base Layer Groups in a Map
 Definition, we should be able to let BruTile figure out what tiles need to
 be fetched and rendered.

 By integrating BruTile, we also get Google/Bing/OSM layer support as well.
 But for this to work we'll impose the same restriction as Fusion does: The
 Map Definition has to be in WGS84.PseudoMercator
