I don't like to see an import of any experimental (-current) XFree versions
into xsrc/xfree.

That part should be stable. It is enought work to cope with NetBSD-current,
we don't need another -current version which we need to fix when it comes to
releases.

We also need to decide when we want to switch to XF 4.x and how we can make
that move, but I am sure that wouldn't happen for NetBSD 1.6.
What we can do is to build both X11 version, but we have to decide which
one we take for pkgsrc, and here I think we should stay with 3.x for the
moment.

Yes, we should do that, but I don't have the time to do that. IMHO Simon
should do that if he has the time.
