i will have to rework the whole engine sometime. GIS data would be
cool, but i currently do not have time for this. i am very busy in
order to support some 802.11g card soon... (Prism2 USB subsystem is on
its way too)...

i has not been possible till 0.06a, but with the new subsystem it
should be possible to program it with little effort. i ll do that on
monday...

this is a known bug, without a fix.... and i did have time...blah

help is always welcome! and if you do not wish to fix "only" bugs,
there is lots of space for new sub projects.... the mapping function
needs support for different map projections for an example. we need
multiple capture sources and so on... i hope you find some time.
