[Xastir] readme.win32 file

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Isn't the tone of this discussion getting a little heated?

There's a bunch of us on here who use and help with various linux 
flavors.  I don't see a need to feud or snarl about how things should or 
should not be installed.  A lot of work's gone into making xastir work 
more'r less with th stock stuff and when someone finds that doesn't work 
we go and help them fix it.

I get enough harsh commentary at work.  I didn't know we had tenured 
faculty on this list, too.
