[ANNOUNCE] libxshmfence 1.0

[Alan Coopersmith]

What about platforms which don't have <linux/futex.h> ?

Right now, xorg-server cannot build without xshmfence, and xshmfence cannot
build without Linux-only API's.   There needs to be some way for Solaris,
BSD, MacOS and Cygwin to build without this, whether it's making xshmfence
optional for xorg-server or making xshmfence work with mutexes or other
portable API's.
