>Description:
The XF86Setup for XFree86 in the 2.2.7-RELEASE distribution is broken.
The distribution file XF332set.tgz does not contain the XF86Setup file
like it should, but instead contains XF98Setup. Similarly XF332jset.tgz
contains XF86Setup instead. Reguardless of this packaging problem, 
the XF86Setup program will not work, upon execution, it attempts to
use the kanji font set.

>How-To-Repeat:
To see the packaging problem, do a tar -ztvf X332set.tgz and you will
see:
-rwxr-xr-x root/wheel   819200 Mar  2 22:08 1998 bin/XF98Setup
-rwxr-xr-x root/wheel      243 Mar  2 22:08 1998 bin/xmseconfig
....

To see the fact that the XF86Setup (in X332jset.tgz) doesn't work, run
it and it will start X but won't do anything else. Upon killing it you 
will see an error about finding a kanji font while trying to display 
the setup message dialog.
