Until just now, xastir's internal shapelib did not build any of the contrib
programs, only those at the same level as the rest of shapelib.  Do a CVS 
update, and then build Xastir with internal shapelib.  dbfinfo will be 
built and installed along with dbfadd, dbfcreate, shpadd and shpcreate.

Note that this only builds shapelib and its tools with static linking for
Xastir, and does not install the library itself.  If you already have 
shapelib installed from a package management system, you should NOT do it
this way.  In that case, you'll have to install dbfinfo from a shapelib source
distribution other than the one that lives in Xastir's source tree.
