hi folks.


to get X working on my G4 tower i had to enable the "nv" driver for
the macppc (and more) XFree86.  this works OK for me, except that
for the following files, i had to add a patch (copied from elsewhere
in the xc tree) like:

	+ #ifndef MAXSHORT
	+ #define MAXSHORT      32767
	+ #endif

programs/Xserver/cfb/cfbfillarc.c
programs/Xserver/cfb/cfbzerarc.c
programs/Xserver/fb/fbarc.c
programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/mga/mga_arc.c
programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xaa/xaaFillArc.c
programs/Xserver/mfb/mfbfillarc.c
programs/Xserver/mfb/mfbzerarc.c


i also have tested this configuration with the dlopen() support for
all "drivers" in XFree86.  this is a pretty huge difference:

-rws--x--x  1 root  wheel  7738708 Aug 21 00:49 /usr/X11R6.working/bin/XFree86*
-rws--x--x  1 root  wheel  2042426 Aug 22 14:36 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86*

with this as a new directory (in kilobytes):
	9434    /usr/X11R6/lib/modules


i'd like to commit both of the changes inthe patch below, but i am
much less sure about the MAXSHORT problem.  the only reason i've
added the 3 line patch to the relevant files is that i found a
handful of other files that do this - when in rome, as they say.

comments?
