Hi Markus et al,

As a start to get our catalog example in MB, i've uploaded a nearly
working stripped down version to the trunk (r3860).

One can type in keywords in the 'Search for layers' section and choose a
service type. After searching the result list gets filled (replaced in
this case, since it's prefilled with a test result list).

Once you click on 'add this layer' (+), it should be added to the main
context and update the map. For one reason or another the model doesn't
seem to get updated now. Don't use the (i) button please: it is supposed
to show metadata, but doesn't work now.

The process in short:
- Search & conversion of results to a context document
  (CatalogSearchForm widget)
- Add a found layer to the main context (SelectLayerFromContext)

When you look at the SelectLayerFromContext widget, you'll see that it
effectively does nothing more than: 
- having a modified copy of LayerControl.xsl
- have one method in the .js file that copies a layer to the main
context.
For a future version you can imagine to have LayerControl take care of
all of this in one widget.

I presume that your biggest challenge at the moment will be to parse a
GetCapabilities document and convert it into an OWS Context.

Tomorrow I'll cleanup the catalog example and fix the bugs. Please have
a look at it and tell me what you think.

Greetings, Roald
