This is done now, see all the sr to X11:XOrg. Most of the new packages
are trivial, but I guess at least xinit and xdm should be
double-checked.

Thanks to Mike Gorse for handling some of the conversion!

Two notes:

 - I used the upstream name as source package name. This is obviously
   fine for most packages, but for ico and rgb (and maybe a few others),
   the name might sound generic. I checked, and Mageia uses the upstream
   name for those too, so I don't expect an issue.

 - I tried to avoid changing the packages as much as possible (except
   for adding Requires when needed), to make the review easier. I only
   updated smproxy and xfs to a new version because of some lib changes,
   and added a patch to lbxproxy to fix the build. We can do the update
   to latest upstream versions later on.

Now xorg-x11 contains:

 - the content of the scripts upstream tarball. This name is way too
   generic, so I haven't split it yet. I can split it to xorg-scripts,
   maybe?

 - those files, that come from misc.tar.bz2:
     /etc/X11/Xresources
     /usr/share/X11/nls/{C,nls.dir}
     /usr/bin/X11 (symlink to /usr/bin)
   It's unclear to me what to do with those.

xorg-x11 has Requires for all the new packages. So an update should go
smoothly. However, it might make sense to drop some of those Requires:
we might not need all the packages related to X fonts and X printers by
default, nor some of the small utilities that are shipped by most
desktops (xcalc, xman, xmh, xmore, etc.). But we can do that later on
again.

Stefan, have fun with the reviews :-)

Cheers,

Vincent
