[Xastir] Upgrading Xastir?

[BDonnell at ar-northwest.com]

Hi Tate, and all,

What I find handier than using su to put the shell into root access "permanently" is to do the following:

$su -c 'make install'

This will prompt you for the root password, run the command, then exit the root shell level, back to the logged in user shell.  I think it's safer that way!
