Default Sectionals for GlidePlan

worse, you can't even *buy* a licence and self support! I managed to make
the required changes to Lynn Alleys excellent sectionals to 'self support'
but I'm afraid I can only use them in the limited, trial version.

Cumulus Soaring still advertises licences but it's unknown if there are
actually any for sale. Perhaps Paul will comment.

One big issue for GlidePlan was all the effort requires to stitch sectionals together to make unified maps that matched contest areas and common cross-country corridors. I still print maps for my own use using the old sectionals and contest area charts on the GlidePlan website.

If it were possible to generate GlidePlan-compatible maps for an arbitrary soaring area I'd _imagine_ it would be a relatively minor issue to get the software license key generator running again. I'll look into it.

Thanks Lynn for making the effort to get this kick-started.
