This code is introduced by commit
commit d568221710959cf7d783e6ff0fb80fb43a231124
Author: Kaleb Keithley <ka...@freedesktop.org>
Date: Fri Nov 14 16:49:22 2003 +0000
XFree86 4.3.0.1
And has not changed since, beside xalloc->malloc conversion. So it quite
probably serves no particular purpose anymore, aside from being quite
silly and probably belonging to local dev's tree, not to the public one.
2Tiago: Kill it with fire, please. R-b from me.
