[chirp_devel] [PATCH] Improve latitude/longitude entry

[Brad Ackerman]

The attached patch adds support for a wider variety of
latitude/longitude input formats in the RFinder search dialog.

What should work:

dd mm.m N/S/E/W
dd mm ss.s N/S/E/W

with any separator between the fields, and with or without a separator
between the final group of digits and the direction.

The parsing code is currently extremely permissive.  It doesn't complain
about seconds or minutes values greater than 60; it just adds them in
(so 45 90 N produces the same result as 46 30 N).  Should it care?
I could see that decision going either way.
