[Xastir] New script: ads-b.pl for snagging airplane positions

[VE2GQF]

Hi,

I will try this script, I thing it's good project, but Is it a good
feature to send to aprs.fi all ads-b traffic ?   I think it will
probably better to have the oppportunity to transmit only specific
traffic based on one tail-number(s) / flight number(s) ?
