and just to keep things moving:

- thanks to  Julien Cristau  we now have xorg configure params exported so
  we can use them (I only disabled  xwayland extension)

- I have rewritten pristine-tar commits for 1.3.1 (removed contrib/ with
  tarballs of xserver etc)

- pushed everything to alioth (force pushed pristine-tar and upstream/1.3.1 tag)
  xserver116 patch I quickly cooked up is not 'sufficient' (build fails
  and I didn't dig) and there is now
  https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/pull/26
  which should supersede my humble attempt

if someone has some time to push it a bit more forward -- please take over ;)
