[OpenLayers-Dev] Formatting degrees in MousePosition

[Erik Uzureau]

This can easily be made an option. If someone wants to make a ticket
and file this
code as a patch, we can look at integrating it into the codebase.

We are going to need an ICLA from you, though, Lance.

Can you put your name on here and send it to psc at openlayers.org?

Thanks
Erik
