* Added a distlist function that returns distances
  in a dyadic format rather than a matrix.

  G&W. The corresponding polygons have GWCODE=-1 and 
  are dropped in all computations based on G&W.

* Fixed several unintended polygon overlaps in the

  COW system) we set the G&W start date for Macedonia to the 
  COW date of April 8, 1993. (Thanks to Andreas Tollufsen)
