[Ogre] standardized, non-sj-copyright maps

So, thinking about the standard-map problem a bit more, I can think of
two ways to do it:

1) Squarish maps.  Pros: fits easily on paper, which is also
rectangular.  Cons: Because of the hex grain, you can't just turn a
geomorphic squarish map 90 degrees and dock it to itself.  Try it with
the GEV map to see what I mean - the hex grain doesn't mesh.

2) Hexagonal maps, say a radius of 6 hexes.  Pros: geomorphs nicely
with itself.  Could have 2-3 different standardized map edges, and put
them together lotsa different ways.  Cons: when printed on a
rectangular piece of paper, you have to use scissors to cut away
whitespace.

I lean towards hexagonal, but maybe I'm missing something.  Thoughts?
