GeoTIFF metadata / ftp download
"""
This likely isn't useful to anybody else. But it's an example of how to
adapt python's ftplib to grab just the first few kb of a given file.
In this case, all we need is the first few kb to get the metadata from a
GeoTIFF file.

An example of using Make instead of Grunt for fast, simple and maintainable front-end asset compilation.
# A simple Makefile alternative to using Grunt for your static asset compilation
#
## Usage
#
# $ npm install
#
# And then you can run various commands:
#
# $ make # compile files that need compiling
# $ make clean all # remove target files and recompile from scratch
