I don't know how this is implemented exactly.
What I know is that VG uses a tailored projection that is better suited for 
northern areas, ref. http://globe.sintef.no/documentation/projection.html

I assume the images from 3party WMS servers are warped in the VG server before 
they are sent to the VG client.
