[Xastir] Xastir stable release 1.9.6

[Keith Kaiser]

Actually I did Google this too, and I also found the reference to  
adding -liconv. I added it to only the first place in configure.ac as  
you suggested. I still get the error below but you know what, 1.9.5  
works really solid, so I'll just stay with that.

I am curious if any other Mac users out there have had this problem,  
and if so did they find a solution. But resolving this issue is not  
worth getting everyone all worked up about it. I understand getting  
things working on all platforms is not an easy thing, I can wait until  
someone else solves it. I'm not strong enough in Linux (yet) to do it  
myself.

Thanks Curt for all the help.
