	Thanks to Jim Fulton for the assist with the build process. I've
	now got "something" running which prompts the following questions.


	1) While making ddx/cfb my c compiler upchucked on cfbbitblt
	   by running out of memory in some internal routine called
	   <iropt>. I got around this by hacking the makefile and
	   turning -O off. Is this normal?


	2) uwm acts differently than it did when I built X on our
	   sun-3's. After I say uwm&, I hear the beep but never
	   get the mouse menu whether I click left,middle, or right.
	   clues?


	3) What do I have to do to get things in color ?

	4) Does anyone have a clear explanation of .Xdefaults and
	   the sort of things one might put in it.


	5) My sources are early X11R2 (around march 88) and I know
	   there are patches I should get and apply. How do I get
	   them and apply them?

	6) Is there a list of alleged speed ups for the server w/color?
	   The X man paged was depressing about this topic ?
