Indeed, which pretty-much excludes woody users from the latest garnome
(sarge too for the time being).  Ho Hum.

I'm not sure that you can actually get the latest Xrender to build with
Xf86 4.1.  I'm having a go and getting:

	Cursor.c: In function `XRenderCreateCursor':
	Cursor.c:39: `X_RenderCreateCursor' undeclared (first use in 
	this function)

Doesn't look hopeful.  Suggestions welcome, I was hanging to have a go
at fontconfig.
