[Xastir] curl or imagemagick breaking source build?

[Mike H]

Found the problem: xastir cannot build from source with the newest 
version of automake 1.11.2, which became available in December 2011  
Rolling back to automake 1.11.1 fixes it.

Package updates show up within days of their release in Arch.  The new 
version of automake will start appearing in other distros eventually, so 
this is a heads-up for a potential xastir bug.
