 When applying the OpenLayers.Control.Graticule to a map that wraps around
 the dateline (180 degrees east or west), if you drag the map past the
 dateline, you get incorrect labels like 200W, which should be 160E.

 This is wrong, but both minor and easily fixed.

 In the OpenLayers.Util.getFormattedLonLat module, insert the following
 line:
 '''coordinate = (coordinate+540)%360 - 180; // normalize for sphere
 '''

 This code will take any value over 180 and wrap it around.  This is still
 not quite right for latitude with a horribly incorrect value above 90, so
 we can wrap it in a

 '''if(axis='lon'){coordinate = (coordinate+540)%360 - 180;}'''
