The info I found from the mailing list is shown below, however, I
can't seem to find the "More" link that Curt is referring to, so maybe
he can jump in here when he gets a chance.

    Getting back to the original announcement, wouldn't it be possible for
    those who don't want to recompile to just add the new dbfawk files to
    their /usr/local/share/xastir/config directory, download the maps,
    re-index, and edit their map_index.sys file?

Yes.  You have to remember that those closest to the code tend to
work out of CVS, so a "cvs update" is all any of them need to do to
snag the latest code and config files...

Sorry about that.  I should have spelled out that option for people.

The files would be available at:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/xastir

More->Code->CVS Browse->xastir->config

Click on "Age" and you'll sort the files by age, then pick the
dbfawk's that are newish.  Looks like there are eight of them.
Click on the rev number instead of the filename (filename just gets
you the log entries), then there's a download option from there.
