hella useful #21

This is hella useful for me right now. I'm working on a nasty little home rolled tile rendering engine (making pseudo-natural style tilesets). Anyhow, your app is helpful. One thing that I'm always dealing with is figuring out the WGS84 bounds of a given tile.

I need to know Tile coords (z/x/y.png) to WGS84 and back to the corresponding tiles.

Here's a helpful site. When I have time, maybe I'll help out and add this functionality if you guys think this would make sense for your app.
