Well, the GMap demo contains a mapfile and data for Canada and is freely 
redistributable. It used to be that ka-Map came preconfigured for use 
with GMap out of the box. I haven't checked recently if that has 
changed, but if not then you already have a solution, it's just that 
GMap is a separate download instead of being bundled with the source.

BTW, as a software developer my 0.02$ is that demo data should ideally 
be kept separate from software source code. Yes it's a good thing to 
bundle an easy to install demo dataset, but I think it has to remain 
possible and easy to get only the software without the demo data.
