TheDarkWraith fixed it programatically. What happens behind the scenes is that it reads where your install directory is, compares the locked target's name to the names.cfg file, then takes the ship type given by that and reads the proper mast height from the ship's config files. You as a player only see "Mast Height: 28.4" or whatever, and the standimeter "just works". Measure from the top of the mast and tada!
Oh awesome! Excellent!

Maybe I can even play without map updates then.
