_This_ set of shapefiles is exactly the selection of VMap0 data that's
been used before, just in a different representation that's more
'portable' and probably easier to handle - because you just have a
dozend files instead of 20k ....
Actually we're working on merging the data of these shapefiles with
other data of higher accuracy and the 'dump' format of this effort is
likely to be shapefiles as well.

To my knowledge Curt made current scenery release from these shapefiles
- last but not least in order to test the toolchain befor we start
altering the data,
