[Xastir] Weather maps are now black

[Gerry Creager]

And what projection are you expecting?  There's an issue with their 
polarographic projections that I've not liked.

NOW: If you want roads, I can add roads.  There's precious little in 
RIDGE that we cannot generate.  However, Xastir has the ability to put 
roads down, and the datasets for Texas (http://tnris.state.tx.us) are 
considerably better than what NWS has in their database.  The main 
"feature" of RIDGE is the topo texturing (and that I'm doing Texas 
Mesonet with no support right now, so things occasionally break).

So what do folks want?  And, let's start making the WMS GETs snag the 
real area of interest instead of the whole page.
