You can pass to slippymap an URL of a html file that fetches anythign
supported by OpenLayers (incl TMS), google api, bing api, yahoo api
and this is a very flexible option because in the html you can
trivially add an offset, warp, realign, etc.  It is subptimal in terms
of bandwidth and the amount of work that is needed to lead each tile.
