dpmsstr.h has been split up into dpmsconst.h and dpmsproto.h, the former is
included by dpms.h (the client header).

thanks, that comment in the file made me laugh :)
I don't know why both headers are included, none of the defines from
dpmsstr.h are actually in use by xscreensaver.

In regards to being public API - hard to say. The only things it provided
that might be in use by clients was the DPMExtensionName and
DPMSMajor/MinorVersion defines.

Did you notice any other apps that break?
