Perhaps you should write some of the install procedure up for those
pieces in order to help the rest of us.  No hurry, but over time
more people may be using GDAL with Xastir.

Another slightly different topic:  For OGR support I was using the
CVS version of GDAL.  Some people can't use the CVS version if they
are using GDAL for other purposes on their machine (like GRASS) and
must use a released version of GDAL.  You can't have two versions of
GDAL on one machine.
