I thought quite a bit a bout this, and I realized that we don't even
need to set how many there are going to be.  All we need to do is have
two definite ones: background and foreground.  Users can set on their
levels extra layers that either fit between the background and the
foreground or lie above the foreground.  The speed on these should not
be hard-coded, it should be set by the user.
It might sound complicated, but it really isn't.  Just have the layers
work via a linked list and have each (besides the foreground) have its
own variable for its relative moving speed.
We can use this later to also add an extra layer where lightning effects
and such are placed.
Anyway, that's what I think would be best.
