[Xastir] Win32 Install Errata?

[James Cour]

Curt,

What do you mean by the phrase "install from sources"?  The README says to
download the file, untar it, and then copy the resulting files to /usr,
which I did.

Since the magick-config file is not there in the tar.gz file, is there a
step missing from the instructions, like a "Make" procedure that would
create it?

Xastir compile routine looks for a specifc file named "magick-config" that
is missing from 5.5.7 although there are files named "magick-config.1" and
"magick-config.in" included in that release.  Even changing the config.h
header file to force the #define did not help.
