UTSL?

Inspired by the posting that said x11r6.4 "just compiled" without any
netbsd patches, I went to /usr/xsrc/xfree/xc and just did a "make
World install install.man"

(Don't forget the install.man, you won't get any man pages without
it.)

The "X -configure" doesn't know about wsmouse.  The other thing is
that the Display section really want to have a "Default Depth" and
"Modes" to force the default geometry.  I'll append the whole mess
since much of it required me to grep the sources for the
keywords. (Hey I wasn't kidding about "Use the source!")
