I don't understand the 0.99.0 versions. Shouldn't these release candidates 
use the versions that the official release will have?

For example, old xlib's libX11 was 6.2.1 but modular libX11 is 0.99.0; I 
think it should be greater than 6.2.1 for example.

xlibs' libSM was 6.03 and old libICE was 6.33 and and libXfont was 1.4.1 
and libXau was 0.1.1 and libXext was 6.4.2 (and so on), but release 
candidates are 0.99.0.

It looks like libXcursor, libXdamage, libXfixes, libXft, and libXpm are 
okay, but the rest are wrong.

I am working on converting all the xlibs packages for pkgsrc package 
collection (NetBSD, PkgLinux, and other platforms) to use new modular 
Xorg.

Will the next release candidate (X11R7.0-RC1) have these filename 
versions fixed?
