[Xastir] Xastir Digest, Vol 55, Issue 4

[Jerry Dunmire]

I have no problem releasing the patches under GPL. However they do
need a bit more clean up
(and a review would be good) before they're ready to integrate into
CVS. I'll try to get that
done in the next day or so.

I also subscribed to the xastir-dev list if that would be more
appropriate for this
conversation.
