Xastir gains the ability to save as JPG or PNG only by
ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick. We produce files in XPM format (X PixMap)
because it's native to X. To produce JPG or PNG, Xastir would need to add a
dependency on libjpg and/or libpng. Not necessarily a light undertaking.

Have you tried compiling ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick from source?
