[Xastir] Xastir is running on OSX

[Craig Anderson]

A worthy and very appreciated effort.  But I would suggest trying it  
without Fink or Macports.  I've had significant problems with both  
Fink and Macports.  They both seem to change (and are broken) very  
often.  When I next take a run at this I'm going to try it without  
either Fink or Macports; install all the parts directly.
