As in:


    cd .xastir/maps
    ln -s /mnt/maps optical


There, problem solved!  User-defineable map directories.  As many
as you'd like to define...

What I'm trying to accomplish with the symlink to
/usr/share/xastir/maps:  A simple tweak that doesn't require major
changes to the map indexing/lookup code, but gives us a unified view
of the map directories from within the Map Chooser.

You still didn't mention what your preferences were for the default
naming (from my last message).
