[Xastir-dev] Long Term CPU

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

The call should return a PNG or GIF directly.  What needs to end up 
happening is an addition to configs that allows the user to identify the 
area they want radar from and let Xastir (or an adjunct program/script) 
write the http request and the .geo from that.  My images are designed 
to be .01 x .01 degrees/pixel, which is usually close enough to 1km x 
1km for most folks.  I'm doing CONUS, can also do PR, AK, HI if there's 
a call.  I can/should do smaller areas, but it's not gonna happen 'til 
I've got more time, or 'til I get Jim Jefferson here this summer and add 
it to his list of impossible tasks...

Someone interested in working with me on this?
