Xorg version number change

[Ely Levy]

I think 6.9.0 should happen only if something major happen
and that 7.0.0 should be left for the modular tree which is a major change
I do think we should start the 7.0.0 branch and stick all the really
experimental stuff like moving to xcb and the sort.

just my 2 israel shekel,
(around 0.5$)
