Since the official X Consortium documentation is already extant in the
source tree, and since the formats aren't standardized for this anyway
(some is in text only, some is in troff+ms macros, some is in
FrameMaker (for some weird reason, and totally useless to Freenix
folk)), I think it'd be a very good idea to do so.  Maybe just add a
new xc/doc/xfree86 directory and put everything specific to XFree86 in
there.  Whatever formats are available.  Plain text, SGML/DocBook,
PostScript, troff, TeX...  It's all pretty anarchic anyway.

And hunting this sort of stuff down from the existing docs, even from
the XFree86 web page, is not exactly obvious... :-(
