xastir: insecure temporary files

Package(s):xastir CVE #(s):
Created:September 5, 2008 Updated:September 10, 2008
Description: Multiple insecure temporary file usage flaws were identified in the get- maptools.sh and get_shapelib.sh scripts shipped in xastir packages.

As those scripts are not needed with Fedora-distributed xastir packages (they automate installation of libraries used by xastir, which are provided in the Fedora archive in the pre-packaged RPM format), they were removed.
