[MapQuery] Make it possible to add event listeners to the map options?

[Christian Wygoda]

One can easily ship around this, but I'm used to give my listeners as part
of the options from both OpenLayers as well as jQuery. And as long as one
does not add listeners, i'd still be JSON, right?

This would make stuff like this possible:

var map = $('#foo').mapQuery({
  layers: layers,
  listeners: {
    'mqAddLayer': function() {}
  },
  /* ... */
});

(I'd prefer to have the listeners in an hash...)

Now I have to do

var map = $('#foo).mapQuery({
  /* ... */
});
map.events.bind('mqLayerAdd', function() {});
map.layers(layers);

Would it hurt?

Cheers,
  C
