The February 2003 issue of Scientific American has an article that
reminded me of this file (xearth/files/freebsd.committers.markers).
It is titled `Satellite-Guided Munitions', and describes some nifty
kits you can use to upgrade your `cheap' dumb bomb to a smart bomb
that can strike within a few meters of the programmed coordinates 90%
of the time (or similar accuracy -- I don't have the article in front
of me at the moment).

Cheers,
