The net.refractions.catalog.google plugin is a lie :-) It actually hits 
a database at refractions that contains results we harvested using a 
bunch of google searches. It needs to be thrown out and replaces with 
something that uses a YahooId and hits up their search services; google 
no longer wants to play with anyone not using javascript.

Oh I think you are asking about making a google plug-in that hits up the 
google maps data? As far as I know nobody has built it yet.

The google projection is available to you from GeoTools; at least on 
uDig trunk, for details see the geotools documentation - you can type in 
the WKT definition and export your tiff as needed.
