Ok, cool. I actually audited the libs, protocol headers, server, and
drivers yesterday and they look fine. The drivers don't actually toss the
information for some reason. The lost history for proto, libs, and xserver
isn't a big deal. It'd be nice to keep it if possible though. I'm going to
take a look at the remaining pieces tonight, and work on how to make the
apps and such work.
