[Dxspider-support] Australian 4 letter calls

[SM6U, Rickard]

Perhaps the restriction only applies for the login? Thus, when propagating 
spots there are no (or other) limits?

I run DX-Spider on the SK6AW webcluster, and we had quite a few guys 
signing up with portable identifiers (for example W2/CT1GIF), and thoose spots 
propagate into a DX-Spider using "DX BY W2/..." with a privilegied 
account. I haven't seen any dupes this far, and it does propagage to other 
spiders without problems.
