[gradsusr] custom shapefiles with shaded plots

[Yaqiang Wang]

Shapefile was standardized by ESRI but GrADS,  so I think your
shapefiles should have same standard as the shapefiles with GrADS.
Maybe you could try to draw shaded plot firstly, and then draw
shapefile plot.

With contourplot it's not a big issue, cause it only overrides the borders on certain places. I'm still using
