[Xquartz-dev] Leopard X11 2.3.2

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Why oh why is there always something found right after the release =(

That bug has been there since before 2.3.2_rc1 it seems, but nobody  
noticed it.  The file should be /usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig , but for  
some reason the file that had my fontconfig configure arguments got  
nuked =(

I'm rebuilding fontconfig now with the correct /usr/X11/lib/X11/ 
fontconfig directory usage and will release a 2.3.2.1 with the fixed  
fontconfig.
