This isn't a huge thing, but, Virginia has a number of "independent cities"
in addition to counties. The dbfawk files included with xastir, which get
installed in the /usr/local/share/xastir/config dir, append the word "County"
or "Parish" to county names. This leads to the following:

Above, Prince William is a county, but City of Manassas and City of
Manassas park are independent cities, and shouldn't have "County" appended. 
I've been trying to figure out how to fix nwsc_ddmmyy.dbfawk, but haven't
been having much luck. Suggestions?
