[Xastir] Maps?

[Curt Mills]

http://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:DBFAWK

I looked at the geofabrik.de files a bit for WA. There don't appear to be
land-mass layer or lake layers, but otherwise they look good. I have roads
and water layers displaying already but the dbfawk's could use more work.
Will see if I can get the initial very-rough dbfawk's checked in so others
can play with them.
