Specifically, what I've been asked for is the ability to query some sort
of database or server with GPS coordinates and produce both Maidenhead
and County Name. Both are easy to do with PostGIS, and I'm probably
going to write a SOAP service and a web page that'll do it.

I have something similar. I have COUNTIES.DBF/SHP/SHX files with a dbfawk like
this:
BEGIN {dbffields="NAME"}
BEGIN_RECORD {key=""; lanes=1; color=254; fill_color=1; name=""; filled=0;
pattern=0; display_level=4096; label_level=1024; label_color=20; font_size=3;
symbol=""; fill_style=2 }
/^NAME=(.*)$/ {name=$1; next}
END {}
I do not remember where I found the counties files, but if you want them, you
can fetch them from my home server:
