xsrc/xc contains XFree86 3.3.6
xsrc/xfree/xc contains XFree86 4.0.2

The top-level Makefile doesn't yet handle building and installing XFree86
4.0.2, the source code is just there (I don't know how it differs from the
official XFree86 distribution).

I haven't tried out 4.0.2 yet (I have an nVidia video card, Utah-GLX
doesn't work with XFree86 4, and the nVidia XFree86 4 drivers don't work
on NetBSD).

Speaking of pkgsrc... I noticed in xsrc/xfree/xc/config/cf/NetBSD.cf there
was an option for building XFree86 with GNU pth. Will this benefit
anything? (For example, will this help xmms work at all?). I realize that
parts of the "base system" should not depend on pkgsrc, but it would be
fine for personal use.
