[Xastir] GNIS Labels ?

[William McKeehan]

OK, my modification is simple enough that I can continue to make it myself
when the map_gnis.c file is updated.

I do agree that it would be nice to have the filter settings in a user
configurable file, but that is a little above my programming skills in C at
the moment.
