[ka-Map-dev] Ideas for last minute version 1.1 additions

[Lorenzo Becchi]

I guess Daniel, is right,
ka-Map has always been pre-configured to work with GMap.
We just need to do the package with the mapfile and the SHP and be sure 
it works out of the box when we download id.

then we just need to update the Wiki adding a fast install doc page.

who wants to check/try?
