[Xastir] Xastir on Windows/Cygwin

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Er... on RH 9, and RH8... and for that matter my remaining RH7.3 system, 
bootstrap.sh still works fine.  All of them now have perl 5.8.  There 
are enough silly little differences between 5.6 and 5.8 that I can't 
stand to have 2 different versions.  Since no one told me I couldn't, I 
just did it, and xastir worked.

Now, the same's not true for another poject: I spent weeks finding 
glitches in programming - that shouldn't have happened and were, 
technically poor practice, if widely accepted - caused by an initial 
migration to 5.8.  But the xastir stuff just worked.  At least for me.

73, gerry
