[Xastir] dbfawk and tiled shape files

[Alex Carver]

I was trying to customize some of the dbfawk files the
other day and was having difficulty figuring out why
it didn't work.  On my setup, to speed up loading,
I've broken up a lot of the shape files into tiled
sections (I forgot the tool used but it was on the web
page somewhere at one point).

Anyway, if my understanding is correct, Xastir would
need to see a dbfawk file with the same name as each
of the tiles in order to parse the tiles with those
rules?  Is there a default dbfawk file somewhere that
it uses for any shape file?

Right now, under /usr/local/share/xasitr/maps I have
Counties/Tiles/ and then a bunch of files generated by
breaking up c_16mr06.* into pieces
(c_16mr06-2-1-0-3-1.* for example).

Separately, it seems I broke GNIS somehow.  It was
working (I could see the dots for various cities) but
now none of the GNIS files show up in the map chooser
after I did a reindex.  What did I do to break it?
