[Xastir] Change to RELAY digipeat function

[Troy M Campbell]

Wow.

Need to cut down on the caffine some.

As a software developer (of other kinds of software)
I'd usually try to make new changes NOT break old
configurations.   And behavior modification is for customer
support, not ususally (I did say _usually_) the developer.

I'd be just has happy having to enter it as not if it were
clearly documented that I must do so and why.   The
default just keeps me from trying to guess why the thing
doesn't work the first time I install it.  Curt does have a point
about Xasitr not being a U.S. specific piece of software.

Xastir is about the coolest application I've come across,
so I'm just as glad to have it like it is as opposed to not
having it at all.

My $.02.

While we are on this subject, where the #!^&*@ is the command/switch/menu 
item to enable RELAY/WIDE1-1 support?

If Xastir defaults to acting as a fill-in digi automatically, I vote for 
having NO default entry, but making the user consciously have to enter the 
alias to use. Defaulting to enabling a poor choice of alias is a bad 
thing...
