[Xastir] Xastir OS X

[Greg Eigsti]

You can get the MacPort port manager here:
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/DarwinPorts-1.3.2/

You will need to download/build/install (e.g. make, sudo make install)

I am pretty sure that you need ImageMagick, but you might need
GraphicsMagick (check readme and/or run xastir from xterm and look at
output)

Then you will do something like...
sudo port install ImageMagick
