For anyone who hasn't guessed by now, Daniel Brown wrote some nice
map caching code for online Tigermaps.  If you have the proper db
libraries and header files installed, Xastir's configure will find
them and automatically compile in the caching support.  The caching
of course reduces our load on the Tigermap server, which improves
its response for everyone else.

If you've tried this map caching and have positive or negative
comments about how it works, I'm sure Dan would like to hear them.
It's the first implementation, but for what it does it does it fast!
