[Xastir] XASTIR now on BeagleBone Black

[David Ranch]

Hello Brett,

Congratulations on getting that going and posting the news to the list.  
I'm curious, did you modify Xastir to natively support the touch screen 
or is it more like a classic mouse behavior?  Also, when you compiled 
things up.. did you build things into their respective .debs or did you 
just do a "make; make install"?
