Yes. To be honest I've been lazy and have used the xastir package that 
is in Ubuntu (1.9.0). The package manager and updater are both present, 
and everything can be updated.  There is no reason that compilers and 
development libraries cannot also be installed and xastir installed from 
source rather than from the distro package.

I'm game for contributing the mods and maintaining them.
