Misplaced <Style> tags

With a Google Support example in my hand which showed the
<Style> definitions above (outside) any <Folder> tags, I
edited the KML file that gmt2kml created and moved the <Style>
sections to the top of the KML file (just under <Document>),
and this worked!! See
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http:%2F%2Fwww.erh.noaa.gov%2Fohrfc%2FHAS%2Fimages%2Fgoogle.kml&hl=en&sll=39.406489,-87.397614&sspn=0.998473,1.71524&t=h&z=7

So I think the problem with the KML that gmt2kml produces is that
the <Style></Style> tags exist inside
<Folder></Folder> tags, but shouldn't. Apparently,
Google Earth tolerates the <Style> tags inside <Folder>
tags, but Google Maps does not. Looks like I'll have to be pulling
in the SVN version afterall, once this issue is addressed...

P.S. I sent this message two days ago, but under a different thread
that was getting a little "long in the tooth", so I think not too
many people saw it, and I saw no responses to it, so here it is
again!
