Scenes now with location, location, location

As some of you have noticed, Mobtropolis now has locations added to scenes. All you have to do is type an address (part of an address, or GPS coordinates), and it will put a pushpin on that place for you on the map. If the location isn't quite right, you'll have 15 minutes after your first submission to correct it.

This means that scenes can be location specific, which will add to helping people find where to do interesting things. It's one step along the way of making mobtropolis part of the Clickable Earth.

There's still some tweaking to do, as scenes without locations shouldn't have maps, but I wanted to get it out there first so that mobtropolitians can play with it. More location geo-goodness coming in the next couple of days...
