[Xastir] Summary of New Capability

[Rick Green]

  I must have missed something along the line.  I seem to remember a while 
back that the census department was changing the format of their TIGER map 
data,  and this recent thread celebrates the addition of support for the 
new format...
   But some questions remain...

1) The old format is supported in xastir with an 'as needed' download, 
with the inclusion of a fairly simple .geo file in the maps directory. 
Will the download of these new files ever be automated in this fashion?

2) How long will the tiger server continue to be available, making the old 
data so readily accessable?
