I've been reviewing the options for dynamic pins at
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/docs/gallery/dynamic_icons.html#pins
and can't seem to figure out a URL that meets all my needs.  I think
the chst=d_map_spin is closest, but cannot figure out one thing.  I
need to be able to set...
- primary color (they all seem to handle this)
- size (the scalable pins seem to be the only way to go)
- text label (I am still good with the scalable pins)
- font size (I am still good with the scalable pins)
- font color( d'oh! I want a way to use white font if I think it will
look better)

Check out the URL below.  It's SO close to what I need, but cannot
figure out a way to get the font white.  Perhaps there is an
undocumented hack?

Alternative:
Going through the MapIconMaker code, I found an example more like
below.  From what I've read, this is more of an internal-to-Google
used way of doing it.  I got most of the URL figured out, but cannot
figure out how to set width and height **in the URL**
