[Xastir] Some work - some don't

[Bill Ramsey]

Hi Curt,
  The urban map is just a grey file without detail. The reflectivity map is
a black file with no detail which I just noticed says USGS in the lower
right corner(?). This would indicate then that ImageMagick is working, and
that perhaps libcurl is not, unless the images are not available from the
server at this time?

Take a look in your ~/.xastir/tmp/ directory.  Look for *.png,
*.gif, *.jpg files.  See if there are recent time-stamped files
there that contain the maps of interest and are viewable.

If so, then libcurl or wget did their job slurping the map files off
terraserver.  If the files are there but not viewable, try viewing
them in something else to see if the files were bad from
terraserver, or whether ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick are to blame.

If IM, switch to GM.  If GM, switch to IM.

If libcurl or wget are to blame, swap.
