minimal meta map framework

## tessel-map

A new map library.

## Huh?

It's an experiment in building an _internally_ modular map framework - as in,
using modules for implementations of projections, javascript utilities,
datatypes, and so on.

It's also an experiment in further decoupling processing and display, so that
DOM, Canvas, and WebGL renderers can be independently developed.

Tessel is really a family of modules.

* [tessel-canvas: canvas output](https://github.com/tmcw/tessel-canvas)
* [tessel-coordinate: coordinate datatype](https://github.com/tmcw/tessel-coordinate)
* [tessel-cli: command-line interface](https://github.com/tmcw/tessel-cli)

And it uses existing code like

* [node-sphericalmercator](https://github.com/mapbox/node-sphericalmercator)
