Re: building aaxine

Okay.  That's what I found too.  However, it seems to me that if
aaxine is not longer an officially supported UI, but instead it is
merged into cacaxine a few things should happen:

1.  Rename cacaxine to something more generic like ttyxine (my 2 cents).
2.  Put an announcement on the website saying that aaxine and cacaxine
are now unitified (my 2 cents).
3.  Make the tool work correctly with aa is specified.  According to
the current man pages for cacaxine, the following command line
_should_ work but does not:  "cacaxine -V aa [filename]".  This seems
like an actual bug and not just MHO.
