Regarding: REL 4.3.0 New driver Imakefile ommision.

XFree86 Version: 4.3.0
OS: Redhat running on a x86 box
Area: Xserver configuration/build
Server: XFree86 (The XFree86 4.x server)
Description:
Dear XFree86 Gurus;
I am adding a new driver to the XFree86 server. In
xc/config/cf/xf86site.def
I found an entry for 'XF86ExtraCardDrivers' which allowed for third party drivers. I
uncommented the line and specified my driver name expecting the appropriate Makefiles
to be changed during 'make World'. Instead, I found that the two (maybe more?)
Imakefiles that should contain references to 'XF86ExtraCardDrivers' near the
'XF86CardDrivers' references, didn't. The files are:
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/Imakefile
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/Imakefile
In my case, I was trying to build XFree86 with the drivers built into the executable
so I could debug with gdb.
Thanks;
Tim Lynch

(I can work around the problem by using the 'XF86CardDrivers' define or editing the
Imakefiles but, it doesn't seem like that was what you had in mind.)
