[Xastir] Change list for 2.0.1?

No, there isn't.  We should make one for the upcoming 2.0.2 release.

There are a couple of important changes I introduced recently that have 
impact on users:

1)  If you are using Xastir with a Kenwood APRS radio with attached GPS,
    you need to open up the interface dialog for that interface and deselect
    "Send Control-E to get GPS data?"  That's because we finally fixed a bug
    in the "Serial TNC w/ GPS on AUX port" interface type that had been 
    causing Kenwood radios to emit "Eh?" a lot --- it was clumsily worked
    around in previous releases, but now that the source of the problem was
    clearly identified, it has been fixed properly.  But existing users who
    have interfaces of this type must take action.

2)  I have removed the clumsy hack that was put in to work around the one
    broken version of Xorg-server (1.7.5) that broke Motif programs.  That
    hack caused the context menus to be transient when you clicked the right
    mouse button instead of real pop-ups that stuck around after the click.
    The bug in the Xorg-server version was fixed promptly, but not before
    several old distros made that version their default.  There should be
    very few of those in the wild, so this hack was ifdef'd out.  Users who
    continue to use some distro for which 1.7.5 is still in use need to 
    configure Xastir with the --with-xorg_175_workaround option to re-enable
    the hack.

3)  There have been fixes to the Davis and LaCrosse weather station code.  Users
    of these two station types (that use an external glue program to feed
    weather data from a database) must recompile and install the associated
    glue program (in the Davis or LaCrosse subdirectories).

Other than those few very recent changes, I can't recall what else is in 
there.  We'll have to sift through CVS commit logs to make a definitive change 
list.  Most have been minor bug fixes, as I recall.
