Do we have a mechanism for specifying that 4.2 is installed, not 4.1?
Even if the user has installed system-xfree86?

The reason I ask is that there are several changes in xfree86 which we
are either relying on, or could rely on.  4.2 includes libGL, for example.
(It is not clear what the role of the mesa package should be at this
point.)  And as a future thing, 4.2 includes freetype2 which fink could
take advantage of.

There have been several threads on fink-users along the lines: package
ddd (or geomview, or others) doesn't work, yes I updated to 4.2, no
I didn't update lesstif yet... and then once they update the appropriate
things from unstable, all works.  We should find a way to formalize this.
