I'm not going to volunteer to rewrite in C++, nor advocate it;-)

That said, take a look at
http://www.dementia.org/~shadow/xastir-scale-diff

xa_config.c "owns" scale_x and scale_y and provides accessor functions. i
could just as easily make main.c "own" them, but it made some sense to do
it this way (where the config file was being read)

I need to confirm the .emacs stuff I did worked correctly before applying,
anyway.
