Ah, so I have to FTP dozens of megabytes of X to get xpm to install. 
Definitely superior.

Tell me, does the patch _hurt_ on an XF86-3.3 system?  The lack of it 
is *fatal* on anything earlier.  How about a constructive suggestion 
for telling the difference between the two?

This is particularly biting as xpm is not shipped as a package; your 
insistence makes it effectively impossible to retrofit xpm to anything 
other than a bleeding-edge -stable system.
