Changes =======

1) Clipboard - Try to check all allocated pointers for NULL before
dereferencing and try to provide clean failures with error messages.
(Harold L Hunt II)

2) General - Allow XF86Config support to be turned on or off via the
WIN_XF86CONFIG_SUPPORT #define in win.h.  This is needed for the
xserver tree on freedesktop.org (fd.o) since it does not have the
necessary files from the XFree86 DDX (hw/xfree86).  (Harold L Hunt
II)

3) resource.h - Rename resource.h to winresource.h to fix a problem
with a header of the same name in the xserver tree on fd.o.  (Harold L
Hunt II)

4) win.h - Wrap #include "layer.h" with #if WIN_LAYER_SUPPORT so that
the header will not be included when layer is not being built.
(Harold L Hunt II)

5) win.h - Remove XWDFile.h, pXWDCmap, and pXWDHeader; these have not
been used in ages, if ever.  (Harold L Hunt II)

6) General - Change all includes for Xlib headers from #include
"foo.h" or #include <foo.h> to #include "X11/foo.h" for consistency
and to make the build work in the xserver tree on fd.o.  (Harold L
Hunt II)

7) General - Grab the rest of Alexander Gottwald's fixes for build
warnings due to malformed prototypes.  Add a few more fixes to silence
additional warnings along the same lines.

8) General - Protect some more XKB stuff with #ifdef XKB.  Needed for
the build in the xserver tree on fd.o.  (Harold L Hunt II)

version number appears if it is not displayed already.

If your mirror doesn't yet have the latest version of this package after
24 hours, you can either continue to wait for that site to be updated or
you can try to find another mirror.
