Actually we do somethings like that in 
http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/collective.geo.mapwidget
Mapwidget package provide a set of adapter to create a map layer and configure 
it in a map.

http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/collective.geo.mapwidget/trunk/collective/geo/mapwidget/README.txt

c.geo don't have a end user tool to configure these layer without write a bit 
of python code, I think your idea could be useful

> - you agree we name this package "collective.geo.map" ?

maybe 'map' could be a name too generic, I think could be better:
- collective.geo.configurablelayers 
- g.geo.layerwizard
- c.geo.configurablelayer

or something similar

I suggest you to use the source in the trunk on the collective repository.
We have made many changes but there aren't released yet. I hope to release a 
new beta of c.geo soon 

You will find short description of the new structure of c.geo packages here,
