[Xastir-Dev] new station/object filters

[J. Lance Cotton]

Sorry Curt... I don't mean for you to take it with such urgency! :-)

On another note: the filters you implemented would be great for use with 
a SQL backend for storing received packets (a la Xastir2 someday). You 
just filter out the non-displaying objects/stations at the database 
transaction!
