[mapguide-users] Adding layer to runtimemap

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

It needs the reference to get the connection object, which is used to 
retrieve the
layerdefinition and the name of the primary key column (the property "IDs").

There is also an overload that takes the runtime map instance.

Feel free to write an overload that constructs the RuntimeMapLayer with 
just a connection object instead.
If you attach a patch to a ticket, I will put it in trunk.

The runtime layer stuff is a bit clumsy, if you have ideas for 
improvements, I'm all ears.

Although that exception should not be able terminate the MgServer service...
