I recommend that we stick with our server for TGA.

XFree86 should be used only for the things we share with their PeeCee users..
that is .. everything else.

Ours requires no configuration, works correctly with wscons, and is already
faster, I think, and gaining more relative speed slowly but steadily.

NetBSD goes to the trouble of maintaining (Hi Bernd!) the xsrc module in
a large part so we can do things like this. I don't see a reason to abandon
the one part of our X strategy that has worked in the past. :-)
