The Xorg Team is pleased to announce the next round of Xorg updates.
The team created a new flag called WITH_NEW_XORG that users can include
in /etc/make.conf. This was created for the intel KMS work being done
althouthough It probably works for other chips. Unfortunately, the intel
KMS driver will only work on FreeBSD 9(RELENG|STABLE) or 10/HEAD users.
Older version of FreeBSD will not be supported. Intel users will need
to patch their source manually with Konstantin?s KMS kernel patch to get
the newer chips to work. Please carefully read UPDATING entry.
Changes:
- libdrm 2.4.31 (including KMS support)
- mesa 7.11.2
- xorg-server 1.10.6
- a lot of new Graphic Drivers.

The X-Server has been patched to the latest 1.7.X series, drivers
and fonts have been updated to the latest versions. This update includes
some components from Xorg 7.6 with a lot of improvements, and it seems
that the performance is much better than the old version. Also this
Update fix build issues with clang and binutils 2.17.50 in current,
remove 6.X gruft and de-author pkg-descr.

do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.

Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.

PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
