I just figured that using the SelectFeature control with the 'move'
callback isn't the same as using registerEventCallback() with
'mouseover' as I used to do. Indeed, when using SelectFeature with
'move' the callback is called each time the mouse pointer starts
moving on the feature. I don't want that. I want an event on
'mouseover' and another one on 'mouseout', not tons of events if the
mouse pointer moves on the feature.
