Add the concept of "virtual fields" to fix the "Module declared field without empty default" error for good.
#287220 by scottgifford, nicholasThompson: Fix regeocoding on removal of user submitted coordinates.

Allow hiding arbitrary fields on display.

Fix country overriding.
Remove some dead code.

Split location_search variables out from the main settings page, as they were confusing *ME*, which means that they were probabaly REALLY confusing the *users*.

#297978 by scottgifford, patch modified by me: Zero latitude/longitude sometimes displayed. I relaxed things a bit to allow ONE of the two to be zero.

Convert any non node/user locations into genids during update.
This fixes a 3.0 release blocking todo in the installer.

Add some magic to allow using the Drupal 6 tpl.php files on the Drupal 5 version (So I don't have to do everything two different ways.)
Starting off, move the crufty old theme_location to a template.
(Note that this magic does NOT actually depend on phptemplate, so it should continue working even if your theme is not a phptemplate theme.)

#287216 by scottgifford, bdragon: Manipulate locations by reference when geocoding so later modules can make use of the data.

Fix the element level validation hooking. This means you don't have to manually call validation anymore!

Add Brussels to the province list as a workaround for some interesting corner cases resulting from the non-existence of a province in that region.

#286826, reported by TourTools: Fix problem resaving nodes caused by the existence of the country_name and province_name fields.
