I didn't know about X2.

I saw a bug about a file with X2 in the name.  Apparently if your file name
ends with "X2", it is treated differently from files that don't include
"X2" in the name.  It must be related to this.  Maybe related?

Anyway, gerbv hasn't seen a commit in a long time.  If the developers are
too busy to continue on it, can we add new developers?
