Woohoo!  That sounds much easier.

What do people think about putting the geocoder stuff into a
subdirectory in Xastir?  That way we can tweak it for other
operating systems and keep it current as we go along.  We could also
set it up with autoconf at some point.

I'm thinking of "xastir/geocoder/" as a subdirectory.  Sound good?

If we starting using someone else's autoroute code and it has
specific tools along with it, we should consider adding those to the
Xastir project as well.
