Map menu is disabled after creating the point file from the table

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I noticed, that upon creating the point file from the table, the Map menu is 
disabled. 

However, it is possible to make a map from the base point map, but only by 
right clicking on the map, and only for one variable.

One cannot make a new map. So, this requires that the file first be exported 
and then reloaded. Seems like a bit of a hassle. I wonder why the map menu is 
disabled. It may be more user friendly to pop up a dialog after the point map 
is created as “Save as new shape file?” and then do the export under the 
hood, if 
possible, without having to reload (i.e., the program then recognizes the shape 
file as the current file, and not the original table with the x,y coordinates).

Fix by enable map menus when create points from table (non-geometry 
datasource)., also change the type of this datasource to geometry data, so that 
when user click save, GeoDa will prompt user to save to either a geometry or 
non-geometry datasource.

This fix has bee applied in version >= 1.7.31
