The sky map, (G_SKY_VISIBLE_MAP), is a tile set like any other, and if
you were not using the Earth thingy, then adding overlays would
involve the exact same process of creating custom tiles as for any
other map. That is, you'd paint the constellation lines on transparent
tiles and would load them as a GTileLayer or a GTileLayerOverlay.
