Producing Well Known Text

WKT is actually "Well Known Text" and don't worry nobody knows this the first time.

Not all meatadata beans have a WKT representation, the ones used in defining a CoordianteReferenceSystem are generally well behaved.

CoordinateReferenceSystem crs = DefaultGeographicCRS.WGS84;
System.out.println( crs.toWKT() );

Scary I know, CorodinateReferenceSystems are atually metadata - in this case the define the meaning of all those coordinates we shunt around a GIS system.
