Log Message:
Update to 1.5.0.
Despite the warning below, the server compiles fine and this version was used
to update NetBSD's xsrc.

As a reminder:

*IMPORTANT* This release works with fontsproto 2.1.3 or later and is for use
with xorg-server 1.16 and later.  It will *not* work with older versions of
fontsproto or xorg-server (prior to 1.15.99.901).

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the
index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file
formats, and rasterizing them.   It is used by the X servers, the
X Font Server (xfs), and some font utilities (bdftopcf for instance),
but should not be used by normal X11 clients.  X11 clients access fonts
via either the new API's in libXft, or the legacy API's in libX11.

This release includes all the security & bug fixes from libXfont 1.4.8,
plus these additional significant changes:
  - Support for SNF font format (deprecated since X11R5 in 1991) is now
    disabled by default at build time.  For now, adding --enable-snfformat
    to configure flags may re-enable it, but support may be fully removed
    in future libXfont releases.
  - Many compiler warnings cleaned up, including some which required API
    changes around type declarations (const char *, Pointer, etc.).
  - README file expanded to explain all the different formats/options.
