Yes, I know all that. The point was that beacons, windsocks, signs 
are airport inventory, and are either in the apt/navaid/whatever
databases or follow rather strict rules and can thus be produced
by scripts like yours. While this won't (always) produce perfect
results it's a good way to populate the airports with signs. That's
why I thought it shouldn't be, or wouldn't have to be in the fgfsdb.
Ideally, TerraGear would add all of them. But yes, it would make
some sense to add the automatically generated sign locations to the
fgfsdb first, so that they can then be modified through user input.
I take the "ridiculous" back.  :-)
