Has anyone figured out how to construct URLs pointing to a specific
location on a Google map, like the Multimap URLs above? The only stuff i
can find indicates that manipulating Google Maps involves hair-raising XML
and/or javascript.

If it's any use you can link direct, ie with the zoom out included, by
using the "link to this page" link just under "Map - Satellite" on the
right hand side of the page. Link below is what it gives you. (just
copy url, and post that one)
