The PAO-961215.tar.gz patches against 2.2-ALPHA.

I got XF8632 working on 2.1.6 by linking /usr/libc.so.2.2 to
/usr/libc.so.3.0.  This works well with the Tecra 730's C&T chipset.
I am seeing some problems with fvwm which I loaded off the 2.1.5 CD
so I am considering going back to 2.1.5 with the eailer PAO patches
and also 2.2-BETA with no patches. The 3c589C Combo does work with
the UTP connector.
