FAQ refers to file that was replaced

[timcoote]

FAQ refers to the file ireland.py as an example of how to caches country shapes (to paraphrase the statement). This file was replaced by hires.py some while ago.

Hi, @timcoote! Thanks for reporting the issue. You are totally right. In addition, I checked the hires.py and it is a bit misleading, because the pickled Basemap instance is loaded as m2 but the next lines of code use m, which is the original Basemap instance, and it should be m2 instead. I will correct all this now.

The corrections are pushed to the hotfix branch for basemap 1.3.9. Thanks again!
