Description
With only one .xcm map package selected (and no waypoint files), waypoints added in the "1 Site -> Waypts" screen are not saved. "Save" does not show much of a reaction, and once XCSoar reloads its configuration, the new waypoint is gone.
See also bug #776.

The whole waypoint editor is a mess that will (hopefully) be cleaned up for the 6.2 release...

For me personally, the waypoint editor on config page 1 should be moved to a different place, but this is a different story.
As far as I see, no other files within the xcm container need editing, maybe it would be useful to declare the xcm container immutable. In that case, why not create a new waipoint file with the added waypoints and editions and auto-configure it as an additional waypoint file.
A general mechanism for overlapping waypoints is required anyway (see turnpoints in tasks), a merging/overriding algorithm can get implemented.
