[Xastir] Setup.

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Virtually *ALL* the .e00 files can be converted to .shp: .e00 is the 
ESRI Exchange Format.  If GDAL is up and working, then, yes, 
libproj/proj4 can be bypassed.  Otherwise, you're stuck with all sorts 
of interesting possibilities for .shp projection formats: Shapefiles 
don't tell you what projection they're in natively.
