Also, if you would rather not do the CVS thang, you can patch your Makefile.am
and rebootstrap to get the same fix into 2.0.0.  Just change the lines
above in Makefile.am to:

install-data-hook:
       cd $(DESTDIR)$(mapdir) && \
       rm -f CC_OpenStreetMap.png && \
       $(LN_S) CC_OpenStreetMap_logo.png CC_OpenStreetMap.png

and run bootstrap.sh to regenerate the Makefile.ins (you will need autoconf and
automake installed to do that part, but you also need those for CVS xastir 
anyway).  Then reconfigure and try building with the package management tool.
