+	Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for

+	work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc

+	be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
+
+20090501:
+	Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
+	can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
+	who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
+	note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
+	failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
+	objects and start again.

+	The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
+	cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
