It's on the feature request list on sourceforge.  There are a lot of
requests on that list though.

We have nothing to do with C++, Visual C++ or Kylix.  All of the
Xastir sources are written in plain-vanilla C and compiled using the
free GCC compiler.  My feeling is that moving to something like
Kylix would alienate some of the developers and possibly make Xastir
less available to new platforms.  So far GCC has been working very
well for us and has made Xastir available on quite a few platforms.
