[Xastir] GDAL and ImageMagik support for Xastir

[Jason & Kim Conolly]

I have finally succeeded in getting a "good" Xastir install with Cygwin 
(thanks primarily to help from the Lintronix site, now referenced in the 
Readme.W32 file).  I can get Cygwin up and running, and run a basic 
configuration of Xastir.

However, I have not had any luck building Xastir with support for 
ImageMagik or GDAL.  I am using (presumably) current versions of both.  
Perhaps this is the problem?  Do I need to locate and install the older 
versions specifically listed in the Readme, or should I expect any more 
recent versions to work?  I am trying to compile Xastir with GDAL 1.2.4 
and ImageMagick 6.0.4. 

The Readme.W32 identifies ImageMagick 5.5.3 and 5.5.7 as tested with 
Cygwin.  It also calls out GDAL 1.2.0b.

Should I keep trying to work with the newer versions?

I did notice that the "recommended file list" for Cygwin has added a few 
new libraries.  Is this likely to be my problem?  I am using a complete 
file set from the Readme as it existed 11/15/04.

Thoughts?
