This allows us to run the server as a normal user whilst still
being able to use the -modulepath, -logfile and -config switches
We define a xf86PrivsElevated which will do the checks and cache
the result in case it is called more than once.
Also renamed the paths #defines to match their new meaning.

--disable-pciaccess, used together with --disable-module-int10, can be used to
disable all pci code inside the server.
Note that XSERVER_LIBPCIACCESS was previously used only in the driver side and
now it defines also whether the library is used inside the server. Also,
XORG_BUS_PCI automake variable is introduced to track PCI code needs.

Some drivers use DRI protocol but implement their own kernel rendering
manager. For these drivers, libdrm becomes useless. --disable-libdrm
configure parameter can be used to disable libdrm support in dri2.
To provide ABI/API compatibility for libdrm based drivers, libdrm call
is wrapped in ifdef.

Currently there is a single file, xorg.conf, for configuring the server.
This works fine most of the time, but it becomes a problem when packages
or system services need to adjust the configuration. Instead, allow
multiple configuration files to live in a directory. Typically this will
be /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
Files with a suffix of .conf will be read and added to the server
configuration after xorg.conf. The server won't fall back to using the
auto configuration unless there is no config file and there are no files
in the config directory.
Right now this uses a simpler search template than the config file
search path by not using the command line or environment variable
parameters. The matching code was refactored a bit to make this more
coherent. Any DDX wanting to read the config files will need to call
xf86initConfigFiles before opening/reading them. This is to allow
xf86openConfigFile without xf86openConfigDirFiles and vice-versa.

Default remains the same - on for most OS'es on i386 (except Solaris),
off for everyone else. Can be manually toggled via --enable-pc98 or
--disable-pc98.

Boolean option to enable/disable SIGIO handlers is set by the first
of these found:
- UseSIGIO option is set in xorg.conf ServerFlags
- Default set at build time by ./configure --enable-use-sigio-by-default
- Platform default value: Solaris = no, all others = yes
This matches the current settings on all platforms except Solaris.
This reverts Solaris (for now) to the settings used in Xorg 1.6, before
SIGIO support for Solaris was added, due to some system level bugs that
won't be resolved in time for Xorg 1.7 release, but allows us to enable
when those are resolved (or when we need to test if they're resolved).

This adds support for using the libpciaccess interface for
vga arbitration support on top of a kernel which supports it.
Currently patches are queued for kernel 2.6.32 in jbarnes
pci tree, and shipping in Fedora kernel.

over to new system.
Need to update documentation and address some remaining vestiges of
old system such as CursorRec structure, fb "offman" structure, and
FontRec privates.
Fix the dri and drm build. Fix server-side DMX extension build. Make
xf4bpp use the correct version of mfbline.c for mfbseg.c. Add #ifndef
_HEADERNAME_H_/#define _HEADERNAME_H_/.../#endif to the headers.
- Use x86emu on Solaris instead of vm86
- Better per-OS control over which xf86Kbd*.c and *Pci.c files to build
- Set various #defines to be defined or not on Solaris as needed
