The NetBSD X source is based on XFree86 3.3.1.

- Several bug fixes, xload doesn't need to be linked with libkvm or
  libutil on NetBSD, and some broken imake macros have been fixed.

- Full support for several non-x86 ports has been integrated:  alpha,
  amiga, mac68k, sparc, sun3.

- Partial support for other ports (no server): arm32, hp300, pmax.
