Re: XFree on Mac OS X

The installation instructions indicate that some tarballs are optional,
but are not. This was needed for sure:

Xprog.tgz X header files, config files and compile-time libs

I also downloaded these, but I can't recall if they were absolutely needed:

Xf100.tgz 100dpi fonts
Xfscl.tgz Scalable fonts (Speedo and Type1)
