[Xastir] still trying to install on Fedora 9

[kc7zru]

Thanks for the heads up on the "add remove software" changes! Looks like 
we'll have to go CLI to keep things universal across GUI changes.

I've modified the entry in the Wiki to make it work for releases from F7 
to F9 - lemme know what you think.

FWIW, I've built Xastir on 3 different F9 machines using that Wiki 
'checklist' - just never had to install the development stuff. The CVS 
servers can be slow - very slow - too )@#! slow at times. But they do 
work, eventually.
