/**
 * Class: OpenLayers.Layer.SphericalMercator
 * A mixin for layers that wraps up the pieces neccesary to have a coordinate
 *     conversion for working with commercial APIs which use a spherical
 *     mercator projection.  Using this layer as a base layer, additional
 *     layers can be used as overlays if they are in the same projection.
 *
 * A layer is given properties of this object by setting the sphericalMercator
 *     property to true.
