This is great; just what I needed! Proves that if you sit around long 
enough, someone will know what all the command line options are...

The city I live in gave me tons of shapefile data, but it was in feet 
and with a stateplan-type of reference.

Now I've got the same data the city uses on my own screen; it's much 
smoother than the rather rough TIGER-data shapefiles from the census bureau.
