NetBSD/x11/TODO
lukem 10cfcae8fc Radically overhaul X11 configuration:
*	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.

clean up XTODO issues
consider symlinking various CONFIGFILES dirs in lib/X11 to /etc/X11
check all Imakefile & config diffs between -rv4-3-0 -rv4-4-0 , including:
programs/Xserver
lib/font/*/module
lib/GL
lib/GLU
lib/GLw
add getconfig (needs perl)
convert lbxutil to a build-only library
Native lib/Xxf86dga on i386 defines HAS_APERTURE_DRV to force the
use of /dev/xf86 (from the aperture driver) instead of /dev/mem.
The server code in programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd
correctly tries both /dev/xf86 and /dev/mem.
(/dev/mem requires options INSECURE)
