Bizarre.

When I tried to build on 9.10 with the 9.04 instructions that lacked xorg-dev,
Xastir wouldn't even compile (X11.h wasn't installed).

xorg-dev appeared in all previous versions of the Ubnutu instructions, so I 
assumed it was an accidental omission.  9.04's dependencies must have pulled
pieces of it in that 9.10's didn't.  Odd.

At any rate, xorg-dev should be listed, regardless, and has been for a few
days.
