[Geowanking] Web-based Map Rectification

[Cameron Shorter]

I don't have a use case now, but this is a cool feature and I reckon 
sometime within the next 5 years I'm likely to want to use it. And at 
that point, I'd be hoping the code is available to me to hack.

Ideally, a Rectification tool should be incorprated as a feature in all 
OpenSource Geospatial clients.

Heavy clients (UDig, QGIS, etc) would want to incorporate the 
functionality directly into their code.

AJAX clients (OpenLayers, Mapbuilder etc) would want to access the 
functionality as a Web Service.
