It used to be that way.  Then within the last year (iirc) our ports
changed to auto-downloading Wraphelp.c and defaulting to HasXdmAuth
YES.  I don't know what exactly changed legally.  I noted that at least
NetBSD has a Wraphelp.c in their CVS repos of X-3 and X-4.

My changes do make the file required by all of the miniports that could
use it, though it only gets used if HasXdmAuth is set to YES by imake-4
(it's default).
