  * milestone:  2.6 Release => 2.5 Release

Comment:

 So, with #712 going in, we've made the situation inside of OpenLayers
 better -- we no longer depend on function.bind being what we want.

 However, we want to provide backwards compatibility -- and the new way of
 providing backwards compatibility seems to break Safari and Opera.

 It seems that the extensions we do to bind are not compatible with
 Prototype -- at least version 1.6.0 -- so the mixing and matching of
 prototype with OpenLayers causes problems.

 Patch incoming.
