Thank you for the commit. But (otherwise I wouldn't bother you) the
patch process gives some warnings, for all three the ports:

[/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-libraries] root@k7>make patch

It looks harmless (docs only) but I didn't see a message saying
"You can safely ignore the warnings" so I thought I'd better ask
around.
