Ahaa, nice to have someone else working on additions for this side of the
pond too. Just to avoid any overlap - the first batch I'll be working on
are all the RAF airfields. If anyone has any requests I'd be happy to add
them or move them up the list.

One thing I've found *very* useful is the aerial photos on multimap -
paste a load together to get full coverage of the airfield concerned, and
then scale (to either 1px/ft, or 10px/ft, depending on the size of the
airfield) - you can then use the measuring tool in the graphics app to get
rough dimensions for taxiway segments, which speeds up the process
considerably.

Agreed - even if it just output a bunch of points that could be added
directly to the stg files.

While we're coming up with ideas to keep David busy - Is there any way to
set the priority of the taxiway segments, where several meet it'd be nice
to be able to change the stacking - I'm guessing that genapts just
processes them in order, so being able to bump a section to the end of the
list should cause it to be drawn on top.
