This reminds me to ask about the "natural" map projection in Xastir. If 
I were to construct raster maps, what would be the ideal projection for 
Xastir? I.e. the map would not have to be rotated or twisted or turned 
to be seen properly in Xastir, only linearly scaled up or down to fit 
the zoom level. I assume the datum is WGS-84.
