You should see how we _used_ to do it!  All KINDS of "-D" options on
the command-line.  That's before we went over to using the config.h
method.

I don't know why XASTIR_DATA_BASE didn't go that route as well.
Feel free to make that change if you find time, else I'll try to do
it sometime soon.  The more things off the command-line the better.
Makes it easier to see what's happening.  I should have noticed that
variable earlier myself.
