#358 Labels missing with dbfawk

[Curt Mills]

Sometimes dbfawk will select a label to draw from the
Shapefile but the custom code in map_shp.c will prevent
the label from drawing. The is the code that only
allows XX number of the same type of label to appear on
the screen at one time, and keeps clutter down on
roadmaps. Changes need to be made here to allow dbfawk
to do its thing.

An "#ifndef WITH_DBFAWK" block has been added to map_shp.c
which can disable the skipping of labels based on zoom
level. This block was commented out though so that label
skipping is still in effect. Anyone desiring to enable
that block can look for it near line 2920 of map_shp.c.

Ifdeffing the code isn't what's needed, unfortunately.

What's really needed is that the logic be sifted through to
see why it's sometime, but not always, allowing lines to be
drawn with no labels at all.

Ifdeffing the code would probably just cause too many labels
of the same line to show up and clutter the display.

Jason Winningham was the one with the original problem.
