/**
 * Namespace: OpenLayers.Console
 * The OpenLayers.Console namespace is used for debugging and error logging.
 * If the Firebug Lite (../Firebug/firebug.js) is included before this script,
 * calls to OpenLayers.Console methods will get redirected to window.console.
 * This makes use of the Firebug extension where available and allows for
 * cross-browser debugging Firebug style.
 *
 * Note:
 * Note that behavior will differ with the Firebug extention and Firebug Lite.
 * Most notably, the Firebug Lite console does not currently allow for
 * hyperlinks to code or for clicking on object to explore their properties.
