[Xastir] Wx Alerts (Mac Leopard)

[Chip Griffin]

I noticed an oddity. I have two machines that run Xastir full-time.  
On one I am currently showing a Freeze alert for Suffolk County on  
Long Island (this is the Mac PPC Mini, running OS X 10.4.10 and  
Xastir v1.9.1 with Imagemagick, libProj, GeoTiff, GDAL/OGR, Shapelib,  
PCRE, dbfawk, map caching, rtree and libcurl. On the other machine  
the alert is notably absent. I'm curious why I'm not seeing the  
alerts (it is in the weather alert window and it is an icon on the  
map, just not the county highlighting. This is a Mac Intel Mini  
running OS X 10.5 and Xastir v1.9.2 with GPSMan, Graphicsmagick,  
libProj, GeoTiff, Shapelib, PCRE, dbfawk, map caching, rtree, and  
libcurl. (Xastir details via the "about" window.) What I see  
different is:

Mini PPC		Mini Intel
v1.9.1			v1.9.2
ImageMagick		GraphicsMagick
-			GPSMan
GDAL/OGR		-

Other things appear to be the same. I thought maybe it was due to the  
newer config (the Intel Mini with Leopard) not having the XBM files,  
but I see those are in both locations. I was watching the PPC and  
noticed it was loading a shapefile with name 'z_10fe06.shp' that I  
wasn't seeing on the Intel machine. So I searched and couldn't find  
that file. I found it in the Counties directory on the PPC machine. I  
noticed the list of shape (and other) files was a bit shorter on the  
Intel machine. So I copied the files over between the two. I'm  
wondering where they came from and why I had so many on the PPC  
machine that weren't on the Intel machine. With a quit and restart of  
Xastir I am now seeing the alert, so I am certain it is related to  
the missing county shape file.

See the below output for more details of which files were there (not  
overwritten) and which had to be copied from the older machine.
