More than likely, but I only do that once every few years per
machine.  This compile I'll be doing nearly all the time to test
things out.  Which reminds me, I need to add it to the
RECURSION_TESTS script.

Little things like that we'll fix over time.

Anyone tried it on MacOSX yet?  Cygwin?

BTW:  I looked into the WORLDHI.MAP file.  It lists WU2Z in there,
which I think is one of the Sproul brothers.  Anyone care to ask
them if we could use it?

Otherwise we can find other suitable sources, and now they can be
Shapefiles.  The one on APRSWorld is a bit large, but nice.  The
text also says it is NAD27 datum, whereas we want NAD83 or WGS84.
At that scale it probably doesn't matter though.
