jQuery ExCanvas World Map

Google Analytics has an excellent map of the world showing where your website visitors come from.While I can't ever hope to compete with Google's product, I do want to have a similar map within JAWStats which shows roughly the same sort of information. Ignoring the "clickable" nature of Google's map at this stage (I'll tackle that another day), dynamically drawing a map in a web browser isn't so easy. Naturally, I thought Flash would be the answer but, never one for doing things the easy way, I wanted to try doing this directly in HTML's <canvas> tag.
