So what you're saying is, we should push the Xpm security fixes to the copy 
in /cvs/xlibs, and delete it from the monolith, so we don't have to repeat 
the 6.8.1 release ever again.

Anyone who objects to me doing this on HEAD has until (let's say) Wednesday 
Dec 15 to complain.  If we're serious about doing 6.9 as a modular release we 
need to start evicting code from the monolith _now_.
