[OpenLayers-Dev] List of Layers

[Lance Dyas]

TNTmap has a builder component which comes as webapp, hta and dashboard 
widget
It does the get capabilities and can help generate Open Layers / 
GoogleMaps / Google Earth as well as its own Viewer ... though
the latter will eventually be replaced by an OpenLayers derivation.

The web application uses a perl script to handle cross domain 
communication but the hta and widget work directly(except for the Google 
Earth KML Reflection)
