If you're talking about the version that I compiled up a few months  
ago, I placed everything that is in the "share" folder within the  
application bundle.  It'll be in /Applications/Xastir.app/Contents/ 
Resources/share/xastir.  Ideally this stuff should all live in either  
~/Library/Application Support/Xastir or /Library/Applicaiton Support/ 
Xastir but I haven't really put the time into hacking the code to make  
this happen.  There are a couple of ugly hacks in there already that  
need to be cleaned up.

The distribution is at http://www.nh6z.net/xastir
