These look good.  I added some dirs to the larger script.  Those
dirs don't really need to be in the new location because the Xastir
install will populate them.  What it'll do though is delete those
dirs from the current location, which is desirable.  The next
install of Xastir will overwrite them with the new versions, which
is fine.  If we carry along a couple of old files, like README.1ST,
that's ok.

Also:  What does the script do for cases where some of them are
links, like for example on one of my systems, /usr/local/xastir/maps
is a symlink.  Will it copy the link to the new location, copy the
files, or skip it altogether?  If I remember correctly, tar will do
the right thing in this case.
