[Xastir] Maps

[Curt Mills]

Regarding the NOAA weather alert maps, there's a script that gets
installed to /usr/local/share/xastir/scripts called "get-NWSdata"
which you can run as root on your box to snag them and install them.
It uses "wget" to fetch the files so you must have that installed.  We
periodically update that script so you probably want to run the latest
version of it so it snags the correct files.

This is the latest one:

I can't help on the other maps 'cuz I haven't downloaded or used
those.  Others are better at hacking dbfawk files than I, although I
have done a few for myself.
