you suggested to have a look at these bugs and patches. In the meantime I
have done just that.  There are quite a few easy ones (apply cleanly to
current git and are obvious changes such as strict ANSI C function
definitions, fixing some small bugs, and similar).

Here my recommendations:

====================

app/viewres
        bugid=18479 patchid=20208       apply

app/xf86dga
        bugid=15084 patchid=15215       apply

app/xfd
        bugid=18479 patchid=20209       apply

app/xfontsel
        bugid=15083 patchid=15214       apply

app/xgc
        bugid=18479 patchid=20210       apply

app/xkbprint
        bugid=12790 patchid=12008       apply, maybe without commented old code
        bugid=15078 patchid=15207       apply with --whitespace=fix

app/xkbutils
        bugid=15077 patchid=15206       apply

app/xload
        bugid=15075 patchid=15205       apply

app/xlsfonts
        bugid=15073 patchid=15203       apply

app/xmessage
        bugid=15072 patchid=15202       apply

app/xmh
        bugid=15071 patchid=15201       apply
        bugid=18479 patchid=20211       apply

app/xprop
        bugid=16154 patchid=16813       apply

app/xsm
        bugid=15066 patchid=15196       apply
        bugid=18479 patchid=20212       apply

====================

where bugid=nnnn refers to
        http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=nnnnn
and patchid=nnnnn to
        http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=nnnnn

====================

Note: patches 20208-20212 have been submitted by me.  They correct an
obvious build failure along the lines already applied to app/xedit, but
nevertheless they need independent review and approval.
