The xinit program is used to start the X Window System server and a first
client program on systems that are not using a display manager such as xdm.

This release fixes regresssions introduced by the shell script modernization
in the 1.4.3 release, primarily seen on systems without the "mcookie" helper
program to make xauth cookies, and thus using openssl or /dev/urandom to
make cookies instead.  Thanks to Peter Tribble of the Tribblix illumos distro
for reporting the issue and testing the fixes.

Alan Coopersmith (4):
      Add missing / at the beginning of /dev/urandom
      Generate startx & xinitrc with configure substitutions instead of cpp
      quote variable assignments & expansions in startx & xinitrc
      xinit 1.4.4
