to speed up recursive makes from this directory (or above).
Note: this uses MAKEOVERRIDES, and may need special treatment
for host platforms that have limits in this area.
* End user modifiable configuration has moved from
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<someprog>
to
/etc/X11/<someprog>
This is consistent with our own policies as well as other projects.
The files & directories that were moved have _NOT_ been marked
`obsolete', as they contain user configuration and therefore we
don't want the automatic "obsolete file removal" mechanism to
remove them.
* The /etc/font/* and /etc/X11/* configuration files are installed
with 'configinstall' (not 'install'), using CONFIGFILES and
CONFIGSYMLINKS.
This is so that a normal 'make build' in src/x11 will not
trash your configuration.
* A 'distribution' target has been added to src/x11 to perform
'make configinstall' in the appropriate subdirectories.
(Should we consider making 'configinstall' a first-class target?)
* The xdm pixmaps have have been moved to /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps
where the other pixmaps are.
(I don't consider these pictures end-user configuration).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
* These changes require an up to date xsrc, and 'make cleandir' should
be performed in src/x11 before a build for the changes to fully take
effect.
(All paths are relative to usr/X11R6)
* Obsolete:
bin/fontconfig-config
* Add directories:
lib/X11/locale/zh_CN.UTF-8
lib/X11/xkb/geometry/ibm
* Rename include/freetype2/ft2build.h to include/ft2build.h and obsolete former
* Add files:
fonttosfnt(1) program & man page
include/expat.h
lib/X11/app-defaults/XClock-color
lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf
some font encodings
zn_CN.UTF-8 locale
some font encodings
various xkb config files
lib/X11/xedit/lisp/progmodes/patch.lsp
Xfontcache(3) and various links
XDGA(3) and various links
XRes(3) and various links
Xss(3) and various XScreenSaver*(3) links
* Add some more TODO items
* Clean up lib/expat build now that the version is hard coded.

XXX native built xf 4.4 may suffer from the same problem
(e.g, a command builds multiple files), use a timestamp file for
synchronization so that "make -j" doesn't run those commands
multiple times in parallel which could result in data corruption.
