Ah heck, I'll check it into CVS as it stands now.  It's not enabled
by default.  That'll let more people do testing.  Once we know it
works on all/most systems, it can become a default.

Then again, if it were the default in its present state some people
that run multiple Xastirs as a single user might get a little peeved
when they can't do it anymore.  That's even though we'd be
protecting them from themselves (protecting their files from getting
corrupted).

Once the rest of the things get implemented that we talked about,
running multiple instances won't be a problem.
