I have compiled a patched x11; it's one rebuild short of OK. However,
I'm not going to do that rebuild. My logic is that, according to at
least some XFree86 developers, 3.3.3 is due out in the next week. And
3.3.3 should compile without any source patches on powerpc. If anyone
is really desperate for X at the moment, mail me, and perhaps I will
make -7 (or merge to -8) available; it will not get uploaded.
