Estimate and roadmap the CAPRA Clearing House map layer composition and updating needs.

From the ToR:
{{{
Manipulating Data. The eventual goal for the Clearing House is to have rudimentary GIS functionality, for users with spatial data that requires cleaning, updating or basic analysis to become useful.
* User will be able to covert data between multiple spatial data formats, including shapefile, .kml and .ame.
* Ability to compose maps.
* Ability to export maps to blog/webpage in .shp, .pdf, .kml, and embedded webpage format.
* Ability to print maps from the user interface
}}}

Functionality (like conversion, export, printing) not part of map composition and updating will be in other tickets

When asked to clarify what was meant by "compose map", we were told that this means adding existing layers together into a map, and styling them. "Updating" these maps means adding and removing more layers or styles to these maps.

'''This ticket covers adding and removing layers only. Styling will be covered in another ticket.''' See #10

This ticket should be closed when it is broken up into actionable tickets with estimates.
