GUI is now drawing airports.

	http://www.best.com/~falconer/xplan.gif

program now caches the navaids and airports in memory rather
than looping once through the on-disk database every time
there's a redraw.

I need a better glyph to represent airports; anyone out there
with any artistic talents?

Other things I need:

  * Someone to write code which will read the airways database
    into an in-cache memory and remove the redundent segments
    (i.e. look for pairs of segments joined only by a waypoint
    with no actual turn, and combine them).  I also need to look
    for shared segments and combine them and rename them to
    e.g. "V21-257".

  * Anyone have an algorithm for placing labels on a map to
    reduce clutter?
