Start up GeoServer.  Xastir requests maps from GeoServer via WMS (in
a .geo file), GeoServer then goes out to GoogleMaps, snags the data,
creates a .PNG image, and feeds it to Xastir.

Something like that.  We have WMS support in Xastir already, and
I've played with it a bit.  You just create a .geo file describes
the server URL and the layers you want to snag from it.
