Hello again folks:

New version released, with only a tiny handful of changes:

2008/10/10 = version 0.99
- implement PyGTK 'toggle' buttons on 'sky plot' window
- implement PyGTK 'radio' buttons on 'sky plot' window
- fix bug of constellation lines getting dim when grid was activated

Yes, I surprised the heck out myself by deciding to finally attack the 'button' issue on the 'sky plot' window -- to eliminate the 'funky' factor The result is 'proper' (?) button techniques on that window i.e. 'toggle' and 'radio' buttons.

I also changed the wording/labelling a bit. The 'equirectangular' projection sounded too much like the 'equatorial' coordinate system (especially when abbreviated as 'EQU'), so I cheated a bit and have renamed 'equirectangular' into simply 'rectangular'.

Sorry for releasing this version so quickly, but when I found out how much it annoyed everyone, and how (relatively) simple it was to deal with it, I decided not to wait.

P.S. Remember that every update wipes out your custom 'ini' file settings. As well, any custom 'xxx_url.dat' file changes are also vulnerable now.

P.P.S. Using toggle/radio buttons instead of my original technique actually *reduced* the the size of the program by 400 lines of code.
