Here's where I'd like to deviate:  I'd like to see the Xastir-1
branch bug-fixed, but little in the way of new features added to
that branch while we're working on Xastir-2.  Once Xastir-2 is fully
functional, I'd like to see the Xastir-1 branch fade away.

Xastir-2:  I'd like to see the option to run stand-alone maintained,
for those people that don't feel they need the SQL database and/or
are resource limited.

The goal would be to limit forking of developer resources, instead
working on one unified codebase that would work for all sets of
users.  Whether or not we can easily accomplish this though is up
for debate.
