Prototype patch for 2004-04-22-XORG-CURRENT

Actually, Sun has not dropped support for Speedo fonts.  The only font format
we've EOL'ed recently was the long-dead proprietary F3 format.

I remember that I had to remove the Speedo font dir from the default font path
in /etc/init.d/xprint because someone reported that the Xprt on Solaris didn't
start with those fonts in the font path... I tought Sun had finally removed
Speedo... better I check that against the EOS statements on docs.sun.com... my
fault... ;-(

s/better I check that against the EOS statements on docs.sun.com/better I check
such things against the EOS statements on docs.sun.com next time/

That sounds more like a bug in Xprt.  In any case, I have no objection to
disabling the support in the Xorg build.

... marking bug as FIXED.

Speedo font support was disabled, but the fonts still get installed.

This yields bug reports like:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=142744


The speedo fonts should be removed from the tree, or just not installed,
otherwise if the speedo fonts get shipped, then the support should be
turned back on so people can use them.

Either solution is fine with me.

I don't see how that can possibly be true, since xorg.cf has the following stanza:

#ifndef BuildSpeedoFonts
# define BuildSpeedoFonts       NO
#endif

and a grep for BuildSpeedoFonts.*YES in config/cf turns up exactly nothing.
