I spent some time on this spell


after adding a patch for 4.3.99.903 I got various compile errors, 
particularily related to fontfile.c

I contacted xfree86 and was informed that the source file contained old code.

I made a local copy of the spell and installed everything from one giant 
tarball.  It all built and installed without problem and is running well on 
linux-2.6.3.

One point to note is that the size of the source tree produced by the giant 
tarball is significantly smaller than that from the cumulative patches.

It seems that things have been moved and cleaned, and the patch process does 
not handle it well.


I'm not sure what we should do with this spell now.
revert it to 4.3.99.902 or go to 4.3.99.903 using the giant tarball.





Regards,  Treeve
