It is trivial to make them thicker.  Should be just changing one
number in an X11 call.

Adding options to the GUI is a bit of a pain, but can be done.

Another option would be to change the circles to do an XOR
function so that they're visible on top of any map colors.  I
hesitate to use this drawing function for too much, as there's a
limit to how many drawing functions you might want to use it on at
once.  You wouldn't be able to differentiate between different
functions if they both used it.

The "Draw CAD Objects" function uses the XOR drawing function
currently.  We might use it in another couple of places.
