Finally got around to giving it a try: it compiled fine on OS X,  
though installation required the following patch, as "install -D" is a  
GNUism.

I didn't do more than change a couple of tags so far, but the first  
impression was very good! Very smooth interface, congratulations! I'll  
try using it for a bit at least.

The very first impression was slightly less good: it's quite difficult  
to set up a new "project" -- did I miss some way to paste a slippy map  
URL, or is there a slippy map chooser available or planned?

Cheers
