That's good, because none was intended! It was more a comment on my  
boss than Xastir :-)

I've been using Dana's OSX build, because of other demands on my  
time, laziness, and being on the OSX learning curve. One day I'll  
build Xastir myself from scratch.

Fully understood - I have the same kind of issues in the day job!

In the end last night, I just went and edited xastir.cnf (tricky when  
OSX refuses to show hidden files under any circumstances, I  
completely forgot how to use vi, and the only command I remembered  
from emacs was ^X^C...)
