Build of XFree86 from CVS - why Xserver is not built

Okay, I figured out why the Xserver is not being built when you pull from
CVS.  xc/programs/Imakefile has a list of subdirectories that are to be
compiled; the 'xvinfo' directory appears in the list of subdirs just before
Xserver.  However, someone has removed the 'xvinfo' directory and failed to
update the build files; so, when make tries to enter 'xvinfo' it cannot, so
it leaves the programs directory and goes on to the fonts directory.

Work around, until the build files are fixed: create an xvinfo directory, as
such, xc/programs/xvinfo/.  That keeps make from bombing and allows it to
continue on to the Xserver directory.
