MapGuide Maestro should point to ​http://localhost:8008/mapguide instead of ​http://localhost/mapguide

I'd like to propose that we put all tmp file in a subdir of /tmp. Something like osgeolive

The reason is that if we implement this I can actually mount a second virtual machine disk to /tmp/osgeolive and store all the downloaded files independent of any build. I could do it that way now, but I'd also get all the other junk that's in the tmp.

That means it will take less time to compress the builds for release, there is no need to copy the cached files on and off each build, and the build can work with or without the pre-cached files.

the NaturalEarth dataset is supplied as .shp files in Windows 1252 encoding

It is desirable to simply hold all tables in postgres as Unicode UTF-8

Currently, the custom version of the NaturalEarth data set we use does a pretty good job of passing through character encodings.. but on inspection of Vietnamese and Slovenian Admin1 (state) names, there are some problem characters.. How well these characters are represented in other environments, from the .shp files, remains to be seen.
