I knew they could go there, but wondered about the other config  
folder. The problem with the /usr/local/share folders is that they are  
overwritten when you recompile, thus wiping out your work. My solution  
in the past was to keep a copy elsewhere and recopy it when I am done  
with the recompile. A more elegant solution would be to keep a copy in  
the .xastir folder somewhere with the other non-overwritten files.
