[Chameleon] zoomin widget

Paul,

it should work in single click mode as is (i.e. if you click and release 
it will zoom in by a zoom factor at the clicked location).  Zoom factor 
is normally defaulted to 2, I think you can provide a different one in 
the widget, and you can also use a ZoomFactor widget to allow the user 
to specify a zoom factor (affects zoom in and out)

If you want no fancy dhtml effects on the map at all, then you could use 
the MapImageStatic widget

Cheers,

Paul
