add openExtInfoWindow method to GMap2 object

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Google Maps allows to open an InfoWindow in two ways - via the GMarker and
the GMaps2-object. The latter allows to open an InfoWindow without a marker.

It would be great if you could allow to open an ExtInfoWindow via the
GMaps2-object, too.

Sounds like a good idea. If you get around to implementing it yourself, please 
send 
over a patch. Thanks!

I implemented the method I attached in this file. It's kind of a dirty hack (it
simply adds a G_DEFAULT_ICON, resizes it and its shadow to 0x0 px and attaches 
it to
the map), but it works perfectly!

This looks good.  I'm a newbie to this -- do you have an example of your code 
in use?  
Thanks!

didn't release its product yet.
