Compiling
=========

To compile you'll need The GIMP (more precisely, GDK/GTK 0.99.13 or later).
You'll also need GCK (http://www.ii.uib.no/~tomb/gck.html)

1) Edit the Makefile to reflect your system setup.

2) Type "make" and then "make install"

You should now be ready to run. "make install" puts the executable "map_object"
in the standard plug-in directory.

Documentation
=============

Ahem.. right.. ;) ..I'll get around to it eventually.

Note that there's still some functionality missing/not working, read the
"TODO" file. Please send me a mail if you find any bugs in the code.

Have fun,

Tom
