Hi,

I'm new to this list, so first step is to introduce myself.

My name is Peter and I am a geospatial developer with a strong interest in
mapping standards.  I've been working on a format that we call Map Markup
Language for a while, and my organization sponsored development of the
MapML Community Module.

I would like to continue development of that module.  In that regard, I
have been consulting with Chris Hodgson about developing an extension point
to GeoServer that would allow people who choose to install the MapML
Community Module to have easy access to links to map previews.

What we want to propose is to allow extension of the "Common Formats" field
to allow a module like our own to add to the list of links to common
formats.

The idea is to enable extension via beans in the spring application context
of the extension to be found by the preview page and placed in that list.
The default set of links (that is, the links that are already there) would
not change.

I have got a feature branch that contains the required / proposed changes,
if you would have a look and let me know what you think and what's the next
step for us, that would be awesome.  Hopefully we have gone about this the
right way, please let me know.

(there're a few too many commits in that branch, I tried to squash them but
they refused. When it comes to a pull request I can squash them there, I
believe).

Thanks!
