I posted a new version on my web page.  Go ahead and try it out with this caveat that I realized the hard way:

BACK UP YOUR MAPS BEFORE YOU UPGRADE WITH THIS BINARY.  THE MAPS ARE STORED INSIDE OF THE APPLICATION, SO IF YOU DRAG AND REPLACE YOUR APP, YOU'LL BLOW AWAY ALL OF YOUR MAPS.  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The maps really should go in /Library/Application Support/Xastir on the Mac, but unfortunatley, without an installer, there's nothing to create this directory on first run.  Usually a Mac app would gracefully fail without it, or create it on its own.  When I have more time I might look into making this happen for Xastir.  Also, the convert code I added is an ugly hack, and will only work if you have the app in /Applications.  I may look into doing the same thing as I did for datarootdir in the future.

This should at least get folks going.

Also, this is the latest 1.9.9 code out of CVS.
