[Xastir] Xastir on a handheld

[Dick C. Reichenbach]

I have a Zaurus C3100, but I've never tried it.  PDA Xrom should work, 
but I had problems with it, especially the sleep modes.  The Z kept 
wanting to reboot on sleep.  If you have a bigger Z like a newer C3200, 
you can run FreeBSD which you may have better luck with.  Either way, it 
would requre the use of Motif and I wouldn't compile Xastiir without 
Graphics or ImageMagick.  You're definatly looking at a lot of work.  
Currently I'm trying to comple some simple expat libraries for use with 
a very simple command line app and I'm having a lot of trouble getting 
them to work.

Ideally WHEN Xastir 2 comes into existance (HINT!!!) The display portion 
can be broken out into a QT app.  There are already some limited QT apps 
for handling of shapefiles.
