XOrg-test module

[Nick Hudson]

Yes the fontconfig module will have to be reworked to install into 
/usr/include instead of /usr/X11R6/include because no matter what I do, 
it cant find the headers.  Like I said in my email, its not compiling so 
dont be alarmed when it doesnt.  I am getting weird errors also but i am 
tracking them down.
