xastir 1.2.1 has been configured using the
following external libraries.


Building with AX25.......... : yes
Building with GeoTiff....... : no
Building with ShapeLib...... : yes
Building with pcre.......... : yes
Building with ImageMagick... : yes
Building with Festival...... : no
Building with GPSMan........ : no
Building with dbfawk........ : no

I tried setting -v 5 to get the debug info, but no complaints about the world.* files.
It just doesn't show up in the chooser.
