This is the first release candidate for 1.12.2.

Most of the changes in this release address issues in the new multitouch
support introduced in xorg-server-1.12.0.  There are a handful of other
changes including additional xinput fixes, a couple crash fixes, signal
safe timers, and XQuartz updates.
