It's part of the Google Summer of Code 2011. Konstantin is doing some awesome 
work there. The whole project will end in a week. By that time the branch 
should get merged into master. So if this code is interesting for your usage 
and if you spot some ways for improvement I'm sure Konstantin and the rest of 
the Marble team would be very happy to see patches ;-)

Disclaimer: Don't get your hopes too high: My distant memories about all the 
digikam stuff are 1-2 years old, so the whole approach and code may or may not 
be different now - or my mind might trick me altogether and they only used the 
LayerInterface approach. 
Anyways if you find a nice solution and if you feel to extend the Marble code 
or tutorial for this use case that would be great. Starting point would 
probably be here:

I'm happy to see you back in the Marble universe! :-)

Best Regards,
Torsten
