[Xastir] Any folks do DFing here?

[Tom Russo]

For quite some time now, I've been working on a library of algorithms for
computing DF fixes from bearings-only measurements, and a little Qt program
for inputting data to be used by the library.  The Qt program also allows
one to toss APRS objects at a running Xastir instance (local or over a network)
via the UDP interface, allowing for a primitive display of the DF operation.

Is there anyone on this list who is:
  a) actively involved in doing DFing (either ELTs or fox hunting)
  b) completely comfortable with building code from source
  c) running Linux or Mac
and 
  d) interested in doing a little alpha testing?

If so, please contact me privately (not to the list).  I would love to kick this
thing out the door for testing by people other than me with data other than
stuff I've gathered on a couple of ELT practice hunts.

The reason for (c) is not that this program won't work on Windows (it does,
as Qt is completely cross-platform and the library itself is in fairly
standard C++), but that I do not want to deal with bundling a windows 
installer just yet (my mad CPack skilz don't exist, and just shipping a .exe
file of the prgram itself isn't enough --- gotta bundle DLLs with it), and 
would hate to ask anyone to have to build it on Windows from source.
