initial PyGDAL commit
idea: zipped shapefiles
Start to transition to using the ARI data.

Since we can't post it, I stubbed out an empty file for the shapefile
and the code will check if it is a shapefile or not (in which case it would be this committed txtfile version)
Now that the fake Elora_esque.shp.zip is committed, hide it from git

This will prevent people accidentally pushing the real copy to the repo.
tidy corners
My magic trick didn't work. New magic trick involving symlinks.
Retrofitted Eutopia to use GDAL (instead of map.py) and
the Elora subset of the ARI dataset (instead of guatemala.json)
