I think Chris originally had some reasons about not merging the shark x
server patches but I don't remember.
The Acorn server will not actually use the XF86 code as it will be
basically a frame buffer type server and will sit in the hw/netbsd/
directory.
I do have some XF86 stuff though for CATS boards.
I plan to build the xsets minus the Xserver i.e. a client build and I plan
on having a new set of patches against the 1.4 xsrc tree for the servers
which I will build separately. These will then get merged into the xsrc
tree but this will not happen before 1.4

I beleive that the shark patches no longer cleanly apply and will need
to be applied manually etc.
