the last message i saw from you said the following:

=>   > Log Message:
=>   > Add /usr/X386/lib to the standard list of library paths.
=>
=>   Does everyone install X this way?
=>
=>Does anyone *not* install it that way?  Fact is, we are very dependent
=>on XFree86 for our X support.

the answer is "yes, some people do not install X that way."

X386 is not currently a "standard package".  you won't be installing
it when you install the "base" distribution set, eh?

given that it's an "external package", if you *want* to have it do
something re: ldconfig, you should have it's install process do it.

X386 doesn't come with the system.  it's not a "standard set of
libraries", it's an optional one.  it doesn't belong hard-coded
in ldconfig.
