Following the announcements of the updates to the T5 Second Survey data as
posted to TravellerMap, I felt it was time to update the Trade maps.

The Nroute.c code, while functional, is getting long in the tooth. I rewrote the
process from the ground up in the
[PyRoute](https://github.com/makhidkarun/traveller_pyroute) project. This is an
open source project and the code is available in github.

This new version of the trade route generation, written in python, reads the new
T5 Second Survey data formats and produces more data.

So with the Trade Map update project, This data is being pushed into the
Traveller Wiki for everyone to enjoy. I've currently posted the maps and data
for the Imperial sectors, and am moving on to the other 104 sectors with data.

Specific Changes are:

* The Trade map summary has been updated:
http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Trade_map_summary
* The Trade Maps (PDF) have been updated
* The data file includes Importance and Resource Units (RU) from T5, the WTN,
Gross World Product, Trade and passenger counts from GT: Far Trader, Army size
from GT: Ground Forces, Starport fleet construction capacity from TCS, and the
starport size and employees from GT: Starports.
* The data for the sector and subsectors have been updated.

If you are interested in the PDF maps of a larger area, or want to see several
sectors of the generated data files, but don't feel like waiting for me to post
the data and/or doing a lot of clicking to download them one at a time, send me
a note.

As always, feedback, suggestions, and praise are appreciated.
