Am I missing something?  What was so great about XF86Setup?

I haven't had any problems configuring XFree86 4, using the included
tools.  The "xf86cfg" program included with XFree86 4 seems to do the job
very well, and even uses the "XFree86 -configure" command as a starting
point, rather than guessing at 'safe' defaults like XF86Setup did.  Plus,
it has support for new features of XFree86 4.
