[Gvsig_english] Export map as image

[Falk Krusche]

Hello Wolfgang,

thanks for this good idea to print a map to a ps file. The pdf/ps export 
function was till today the only way I knew to get my ready maps into 
desktop publishing software.

For those, who want tro try it out: You need to install a ps driver 
first (see http://www.hawaii.edu/askus/637 for an easy explanation).
