[meteorite-list] New database

[Jeff Grossman]

The actual information that I present about each meteorite is similar to 
what the NHM online database gives.  You still have to buy one of the good 
programs to get details.

What I hope to do is to have my database take you directly to the 
appropriate record in the other databases, assuming you have them installed 
on your system, just like it already can do with World Wind (a fantastic 
free download, if you don't know about it).  I'll be working with Joern on 
this in the future.
