Thanks.  I've placed the patch in bugzilla, #5525
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5525).


I've also got FreeType building in to Xprt.  It's something of a dog's
breakfast though, with external files linked in from all sorts of
horrible sources, so I'm keeping it separate from this first working
patch.

My patch build a stand-alone Xprint server (Xprt).  I can see how to
build a unified video+print server - it would need XPRINT defined in
dix-config.h (for dix/main.c), PRINT_ONLY_SERVER undefined and replaced
by LOADABLEPRINTDDX (see mi/miinitext.c), and the the Xorg binary would
need code from ./Xprint/ linked in.  I don't know what plans for a
unified server are, I'm happy with a stand-alone one.  You don't want
your graphic interface to crash just because your printing subsystem has
issues!
