Hello,

Do you plan to add support for WMS-C [1] in Merkaartor, i.e. to behave as a
WMS tiling client? Because I'd like to use Merkaartor with a tilecache [2]
server.

Making a "Request=GetCapabilities" call to a tilecache instance returns
"specific capabilities", e.g.:

...
<VendorSpecificCapabilities>
  <TileSet>
    <SRS>EPSG:3947</SRS>
    <BoundingBox SRS="EPSG:3947" minx="1347581.810000" miny="6236765.860000"
maxx="1353826.030000" maxy="6244826.880000"/>
    <Resolutions>31.48835937499825377017 15.74417968749912688509
7.87208984374956344254 3.93604492187478172127 1.96802246093739086064
0.98401123046869543032 0.49200561523434771516 0.24600280761717385758
0.12300140380858692879</Resolutions>
    <Width>256</Width>
    <Height>256</Height>
    <Format>image/png</Format>
    <Layers>AREA</Layers>
    <Styles/>
  </TileSet>
</VendorSpecificCapabilities>
...

Then Merkaartor could use that information to make appropriate WMS-C
requests.
WMS-C is a kind of a mix between TMS and WMS so I don't know where it should
lie code-wise as it may share algorithms between the two.
