After 3 release candidates, it's finally done - libX11 1.4 is released.

As previously warned, libX11 1.4 *requires* libxcb.   The Xlib 1.3 branch
continues to support the --without-xcb option for the benefit of any
remaining distributors who do not yet ship XCB in their stable releases.

Changes since the last release candidate:

Alan Coopersmith (1):
      libX11 1.4.0

Dan Nicholson (2):
      config: Fix architecture check for OS/2 to skip nios2 cpu
      config: Check host string when deciding architecture to build for

      config: HTML file generation: use the installed copy of xorg.css
