 As of now, when adding a wms layer to the map viewer, image/png is used as
 default. This is fine for vector layers, but when adding raster layers
 (maps,orthophotos) this gives ugly layers, which are way better rendered
 using image/jpeg, hence the need for a selector with the available formats
 from getcapabilities (maybe trimmed to png/jpeg).

 One can still hack the wms backend to return jpeg data when asked for
 format=image/png, but this is rather ugly.

 Of course you can object that those layers should be used as baselayers
 instead... but one never chooses what wms server the end-used will want to
 use as overlay layers.
