A minimal patch for the stable jaunty release of osm-gps-map is attached

** Summary changed:

- [jaunty] Python bindings placed in wrong directory
+ osmgpsmap python bindings placed in site-packages rather than dist-packages

** Description changed:

- When the migration from python 2.5 to 2.6 was made in the jaunty
- development cycle, it would appear python-osmgpsmap was not rebuilt
- against the new version.
+ During the jaunty development cycle, the transition was made from site-
+ packages in python, to dist-packages. The configure script in the
+ python-osmgpsmap didn't pick up the right location, until I just fixed
+ this in a patch. However this is not available in jaunty. So when a user
+ tries to use the module, they are told it cannot be found.
+ 
+ ==Solution==
+ The bug was addressed in the development version by modifying the 
python/configure and python/aclocal.m4 files in the package, using a patch. The 
script now picks up the correct location for the python modules.
+ 
+ ==Test Case==
+ TEST CASE: Using a python prompt, typing "import osmgpsmap" doesn't produce 
any errors.
+ 
+ TEST CASE: Alternatively, use this script, execute it, and observe the
+ map loading. http://andrewgee.org/stuff/osmgpsmaptest.sh
