[Xastir] Upgrade to Suse 9.2

[Clay Jackson]

When I (re)built Xastir after upgrading to Suse 9.2; I gave up on the 
Suse-provided imagemagick and just went to the site referenced in the 
Xastir docs and downloaded/installed it.   Be VERY careful with YAST - 
every time you even touch anything X related, it wants to REload the 
OLD imagemagick, which will screw up Xastir big time the next time you 
compile it (you just have to tell YAST explicitly to IGNORE imagemagick
