Read the Viphilama RFC.
The xtraceroute method is obviously approximated, but for the Viphilama needs
it's better than nothing. Btw, the user is advised to put his coordinates in
the .conf.

Indeed.

RTRFC = Read The RFC

This isn't important, it's just a matter of parsing the .conf. We can do as we
please, but I prefer to put just the numeric coordinates, which can be
retrieved from anywhere (google map, ...)
