[Users] Add Bing Maps as baselayer

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

I just created http://trac.geoext.org/ticket/192 and
http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2397. The former depends on the
latter. The changes made are intended to get rid of problems with the
map init sequence of unrendered maps, including the Bing initialization
problems reported in the quoted thread.

Comments and reviews are welcome.

Regards,
Andreas.
