Since we really need to get on to Xastir-2 sometime soon and not get
bogged down in too much other stuff, how about this as a compromise:


Don't draw a map if its extents are less than 10% of the viewport in
either direction.

Don't draw a map if the viewport is less than 10% of the map extents
in both directions.

Make the percent value user-changeable.


Doing it this way instead of adding min/max to the Map
Chooser->Properties menu would allow a quick fix, without having to
implement a more complicated method twice, once for Xastir-1.2.x,
once for Xastir-2/Database version.

It also allows the user to set a global default, avoiding going into
the properties menu and changing things on every file.
