Please excuse me if this has been discussed before, but why can't
there be ports for both XFree 4.1 and 4.2 in the tree, similar to the
tcl, tk and a lot of other ports ? Something like:

/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-41
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-42

With such a scheme, people can choose for themselves if they want to
have the latest version (with 4.2) or be more conservative (with 4.1).

However, this may be too much work to maintain, and it may possibly
mess up the metaport work which is being done at the moment.

Cheers,
