[Xastir] Basic Maps for Xastir

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

And of the first 2, which is open-source, consistent with Xastir? 
Unfortunately, neither.

Undertow (an interesting name-choice) is a Microsoft-centric development 
organization and isn't likely to come into the open-source, or Linux, 
fold save with a lot of prodding.  They don't see a market there and 
that's a commercial decision for 'em.  Anyway: How much would a 
development kit cost us?  Could we afford it?
