[Xastir] storing tigermaps locally

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

You generally have to get the tiger shapefiles for this sort of thing. 
I don't know what format WinAPRS uses...

Also, you should have these in /usr/local/share/xastir/maps, and should 
have used the conversion scripts to move 'em... some months ago.  I know 
I wasn't anxious to migrate stuff on a working system, but it was more 
pain-free than I thought.
