option to disable animate zooming

[ahocevar]

The GMaps v3 API does not support it, but we can do it by making the layer temporarily invisible.

Andreas, looks good, would it not make more sense in the example when switching base layers to apply the current setting to the base layer selected? I find it a bit strange that when I change the baselayer that my "application" option for Animated zoom changes.

Another thing that comes to my mind, would it not make more sense to use transitionEffect as the option name? With a default of resize? That way it is closer to what OL currently uses. Setting it to null would remove the transitionEffect. What do you think?

changed as suggested by bartvde

I only changed the example, because the same option is also called animationEnabled in Layer.VirtualEarth. And transitionEffect, in my opinion, is something that OpenLayers does, not an external API.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree, please commit.
