Uhu... I hope we ship programs using the old ABI to justify this,
but I don't care enought about that.

I started with no /usr/X11R6 at all, so aparently something's not working
properly here. I didn't get complaints about missing fonts.cache files
when creating the release sets, and I didn't look (and can't check right
now) if they're in there and with what data (or empty?), but this needs
investigation.

Of course people just upgrading will probably not hit that problem.
