I would like to thank jtsnow for his work on the Google Base module, I have used some of the code from his module and built upon it, the Google Base module was still in CVS at the time (not even in dev) and I could not add it as a dependency so I had to copy some code from it, so that I dont have to redo some of the nice work he did.

The module is currently under development, so please help test it.
