Hi,

It's my intention to commit the following patch:

        http://csociety.org/~will/XFree86-4.2.0.5.diff

..by 6pm EST Saturday, March 16, 2002.  It has seen fairly extensive
testing on my part and several volunteers.  I have not put it
through bento's 4-exp tree, and I do not intend to due to the
fact that I believe the demand for this upgrade will exceed the
help we would get from such an endeavor.  Also, I have been
pressured by many people on portmgr and re to commit the diffs so
we can prepare for 5.0-DP1 with the latest version of XFree86.
Not to mention the many other emails I have received, either via
private mail or ports@ or portmgr@ or [EMAIL PROTECTED], that
indicate the masses want the product now...  :-)

The commit will be done in stages:
        1) bsd.port.mk:
                + Changes to handle html manpages automatically.
                + Add --x-[libraries,includes]=${X11BASE}/...
                  automatically to CONFIGURE_ARGS if
                  GNU_CONFIGURE is defined.
        2) XFree86 miniports will be upgraded to 4.2.0:
                + devel/imake-4
                + x11-fonts/XFree86-4-font100dpi
                + x11-fonts/XFree86-4-font75dpi
                + x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontCyrillic
                + x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontDefaultBitmaps
                + x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable
                + x11-servers/XFree86-4-FontServer
                + x11-servers/XFree86-4-NestServer
                + x11-servers/XFree86-4-PrintServer
                + x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server
                + x11-servers/XFree86-4-VirtualFramebufferServer
                + x11/XFree86-4-clients
                + x11/XFree86-4-documents
                + x11/XFree86-4-libraries
                + x11/XFree86-4-manuals
        3) x11/XFree86-4 megaport will be converted to a metaport.
                + Will depend on the following:
                        - imake-4
                        - XFree86-4-libraries
                        - XFree86-4-clients
                        - XFree86-4-documents
                        - XFree86-4-font100dpi
                        - XFree86-4-font75dpi
                        - XFree86-4-fontDefaultBitmaps
                        - XFree86-4-fontScalable
                        - XFree86-4-FontServer
                        - XFree86-4-Server
        4) Will contain one major change over the versions
           submitted by FUJISHIMA-san and Taguchi-san:
                + Wraphelp.c merged into imake-4 and
                  XFree86-4-libraries by default.
                        - Approved by core -- I requested
                          permission to commit this so Xdmcp
                          supported XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 by
                          default.

Modifications before the commit time will be accepted.  Please
remember to remove x11/XFree86-4/patch* x11/XFree86-4/scripts/configure 
and add http://csociety.org/~will/patch-z46 to XFree86-4-libraries
before you try to use my patch.

Thanks,
