??? Oops! Really weird. Why we need two building systems instead of one?
BTW, is it correct in part that sources distributed in unmodified
way or not? I remember I saw standard XFree gzipped tarballs into
2.0.5 CD.

It means that contrib tape must be fetched and included to
XFree86 ports too. Jean-Marc, what do you say?

I think the real way to be in sync is maintain XFree86 port
properly and maybe add all missing parts to XFree86 port.
Rich, do you got my locale.alias patch or I need to resend?
