Having compiled XFree86-2.0 in my somewhat severely hacked tree, I'll
venture a response:
Just grab the server if you are happy with the 1.3 clients, etc.
It looks like there were only a few changes outside of that. If you're
compiling X programs, you might want to update your config files x386.cf
and site.def, but if you're not compiling the SERVER, itself, that's
probably not necessary, either.
