[Xlibs] [Announce] libXv released

[Jim Gettys]

Exactly what I meant.

Amaury didn't seem to understand that he needed to copy the
,v files over to preserve the history, rather than just
just adding a working copy to the repository.

And yes, any new code should get tagged with an initial fd.o
tag; I did this for Xlib (and maybe the other libraries (I
don't remember) a while back.
