Log Message:
Update to 1.4.8.

This release is overflowing with security fixes and code cleanups,
including the fixes for CVE-2014-0209, CVE-2014-0210, & CVE-2014-0211
for the security advisory published earlier this week:
    http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2014-May/002431.html

This release works with fontsproto 2.1.2 or earlier and is for use with
the existing stable releases of xorg-server - 1.15 & earlier.

libXfont 1.5 will be released later this year to support fontsproto 2.1.3
and xorg-server 1.16.  It will also change the compile time defaults to stop
building SNF font format support by default, taking the next step in the
deprecation of this file format that was used prior to X11R5, and has been
on the way out since 1991.   In the unlikely event that you still need to
support old SNF format fonts, get in the habit of adding --enable-snfformat
to your configure flags when building.
