Yep!

I'm investigating a nice way to do it.  It looks like Apache allows
you to set up the public_html access, and then to allow symlinks if
the owner matches.  That looks like the best way to do it, but I
don't have it working yet.  Set that up, then create a symlink:


~/public_html/snapshot.png -> ~/.xastir/tmp/xastir_<user>_snapshot.png


The map downloads, track downloads, etc also use the .xastir/tmp
directory.
