 I have written a little patch (see attached file) for OpenLayers.Util in
 order to provide a function simplifying LineStrings. Base of the code is
 the Douglas-Peucker algorithm. Due to a threshold unnecessary vertices are
 removed.

 I would be happy if this could be included to the code base of OpenLayers.

 The code includes tests and an example showing he functionality.

 Thanks for any review.
