Utility function to use the google maps geocoder server side. This is an easy, quick way to geocode a single address. Note: This is a REMOTE CALL TO GOOGLE. Do NOT use this where performance matters, as it could possibly take several seconds for this function to return. See http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GGeoStatusCode for a description of the possible status codes.
