Updated: xorg-server-1.12.0-2 (TEST)

The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** xorg-server-1.12.0-2
*** xorg-server-common-1.12.0-2
*** xorg-server-dmx-1.12.0-2
*** xorg-server-extra-1.12.0-2
*** xorg-server-devel-1.12.0-2

These packages contain XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers.

Upstream is considering the removal of the Xephyr, Xfake, Xnest and Xvfb
servers sometime after X11R7.7, to be replaced by invoking the Xorg server
with the xf86-video-dummy or xf86-video-nested drivers [1].  To prepare for
this transition, some packaging changes have been made:

PACKAGING CHANGES:

1) The Xephyr, Xfake, Xnest and Xvfb servers have been moved to a separate
xorg-server-extra package.

2) A new xorg-server-common package contains X server common files.  This
allows xorg-server-extra to be installed (e.g. for Xvfb) without installing
xorg-server.

3) The xorg-server package now also contains the Xorg server, which can be
used with the xf86-video-dummy and xf86-video-nested drivers to provide dummy
and nested X servers.

4) The new xorg-server-devel package contains the SDK for building drivers and
extensions for the Xorg server.
