Description Paul Eggleton 2013-10-14 10:57:09 UTC 
Add a mechanism to fetch layers (and all of their dependencies) from the layer index and update bblayers.conf as appropriate.

This will require a new client-side utility as well as enhancement of the layer index itself to provide an API that can be queried by the utility.
