Ok.  Failed experiment.  The rtree library that is bundled with the GDAL
libraries in the Fedora repositories is not interchangable with our own.
That means that I'll have to undo my changes, and go through the entire
rtree library to make all of its symbols unique to deconflict with those
libraries.  I'll go through and add a prefix like Xastir_ to all the functions
and global symbols throughout the local library.

What a PITA.  This would not be an issue with the GDAL/GRASS plug-in (I have
gdal built that way per the recommendations, and I see that while the 
GRASS plug-in has a dependency on libgrass_rtree.so, gdal itself doesn't ---
the plug-in is only used when GDAL is trying to work on GRASS format data,
and is loaded at run time instead of link time.  Sigh.

Anyhow, I will not have time to go through the rtree library to do this
renaming exercise before Thursday, maybe not before next Monday, unless
Curt goes through and slams it in before I finish typing this...

In the mean time, compile xastir without GDAL support, I bet you'll never miss 
it.
