Running "ktrace" on things reveals a lot of files that aren't there,
so I don't think that's necessarily a problem. On installing both
variations, it's obviously to support both ABI's, so that you can run
binaries built on hosts that aren't running the latest XFree86, and I
think that's a great idea.

The fonts.cache-1 files *are* included in the sets. Still, those won't
include any fonts you already have installed. I would like to see
"etcupdate" offer to run fc-cache, and while we're wishing, I would
also like to see it run the equivalent of "/etc/postinstall -s / fix
obsolete" (or just run that).
