One of those parts of the distribution that doesn't even compile
and has been getting on my nerves for years :-)  Problem is, I'm not
an X programmer, so I don't know if my fixes make any sense.  In case
anyone wants them, here they are, without warranty.  Don't forget to
build a separate version of gnuchess with -DCHESSTOOL and nondsp.c
if you want to play xchess -c (against the computer) -- I did that
and installed it as 'gnuchess' instead of 'chess' so that xchess could
find it.

Don't even think of mailing me about this -- I don't do X and I don't play
chess, I'm just one of those people who hate a incomplete system :-)
If anyone has a better set of fixes, I'd be grateful if they submitted them
to the NetBSD project :-)
