[Xastir] Canadian Topo Maps

[Gerry Creager]

Try 'perl toporama50k.pl'.  That's a perl script.  And, linux doesn't 
employ a 'run' command.  However, in looking at a local copy of the 
script here, you can also try './toporama50k.pl' (without the "'" of 
course), and it should run.

We need to change the script run istructions a little bit to accommodate 
the folks unfamiliar with Linux/Unix.  I see that we are assuming a few 
things we shouldn't in the explanation.
