 In some specific cases, it is useful to be able to position an arbitrary
 HTML element on the map at a geographic location as a marker, without
 being limited to using an Icon.  Specific examples of where this may be
 useful:

  * your marker is composed of more than one thing, for instance a marker
 plus some text over top (numbers, letters etc)
  * you would like to use a SWF file as a marker
  * you want to add  some behaviour to your marker such as a mouseover
 effect.

 Marker and Icon seem pretty much intertwined at this point, so I can't
 decide if it would be better to write a new Marker class or write a new
 Icon class and refactor Marker to be less dependent on Icon internals.
 Suggestions welcome.
