I made note of it because the readme.win32 file does make a note about 
making ".cvsrc"  It would make sense to point out to those who are trying 
to understand everything involved with installing xastir under windows 
systems.  The way the file is created obviously matters and isn't something 
most people would think about.

That's not a fair assumption to make.  Just because someone goes through 
the trouble to get xastir running doesn't mean they know the ins and outs 
of every program used.

The README.win32 file does a pretty good job of detailing exactly what 
needs to be done to make Xastir run on a win32 machine for those that may 
not know squat about unix/linux.  I was just trying to make one of those 
such details more clear.
