[OpenLayers-Dev] Scale-Control Patch

[ligi]

Hi,

i wrote a small Patch for the Scale-Control. The possibility to shorten 
the scale values is good and can be the default - but sometimes the 
exact values are needed to be shown to the user. In the patched version 
it is possible to switch between shortening mode and not shortening mode 
by the shorten property.

best regards,
