Patch to update comms/xastir to version 2.1.8

The Xastir group released version 2.1.8 a couple of weeks ago.  It is mostl=
y a
maintenance release, and is easy to update.

The main "gotcha" is that the Github releases no longer come "pre-bootstrap=
ped"
--- they contain no "configure" script or any other autotools-produced file=
s,
nor are some of the other files produced by the "bootstrap.sh" present.

The attached patch should completely prepare the port for the new version. =
 I
have tested it out and it works seamlessly with all the existing patch file=
s as
before.

Unfortunately, this is the first time I have ever tried to build the Xastir
port in FreeBSD (I am an Xastir developer, and always build it from source
myself), and I find that Xastir's probe for "gv" actually tries to *run* gv=
 in
order to get its version number, and this does not work when building throu=
gh
the port for reasons I don't understand (it gets a strange error when tryin=
g to
run "gv --version", and interprets this as gv not being usable, so it skips
using it).  But that was already the case before my changes, and means one
can't print map screens  --- but apparently one never could with the port-b=
uilt
Xastir.

At any rate, my patch updates the port to 2.1.8 and the build is just as
functional as it was with 2.1.6.

The patch was created from a private git branch using "git format-patch".
