[Xastir] New lsb-xastir binary available

The bug I found last night which caused segfaults appears to be in
the libcurl code in util.c.  I did a fix for the LSB version but
included it inside #ifdef's.

Any non-LSB Xastir suffers from the same problem, so more than
likely that bit of code needs to be enabled for all builds except
for very old libcurl libraries that don't have that feature.
Perhaps very old libcurl sources don't exhibit this segfault?

If you disable all of your network access and then try to download a
GPS track, your Xastir may segfault sometime shortly after libcurl
times out.  That's the easy way to check.
