[PATCH] Copy/Paste non-ascii characters

[Harold L Hunt II]

Jay,

I just posted XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-20 as a 'test' package; it should be 
showing up on mirrors within a few hours.  When it does, run setup.exe 
and manually select version '4.3.0-20' for the XFree86-xserv package. 
Then, run the new server version as usual (do not use the new flag that 
Kensuke talked about) and report your results to the mailing list.
