This gives the possibility to add user specific shape files as overlays. These must be (lon/lat) and either shape-type polygon or line.
overlays[shapefiles] is a list of dicts that must at least look like {'filename' : '/full_path_to_your/special.shp'}. Polygons can be filled.
Christian Peters uses this for adding administrative boundaries of German 'States' (Bundesländer) on daily weather station images.
I also changed the order in overlays_from_dict(): 'grid' should not be added last as it will spoil the text labels of 'cities' and 'points'.
