X11 3.3.3.1 patch - for Slovak and Czech users

[Miroslav Vasko <mvasko zavinac isternet bod sk>]

Hi!

maybe you remember at your mail from May 11, 1999. You've applied patch
(against 3.3.2.3) I've sent you, but you applied it against 3.3.3.1.

I've finally installed 3.3.3.1 on my Slink machine and I've found some time to
test it.

I found, that patch I needed to apply is much smaller and cleaner than was that
against 3.3.2.3 (it's basically only new keyboard maps and one typo correct in
locale.alias for Czech).

Please, roll back my old patch (I did include affected part of your mail for
orientation).

In new patch (which is tarred agains /usr/X11R6/ directory) is this:
  -- cssk* - slovak and czech keyboard maps (sk/cz qwertz/qwerty for
            programmers/normal users)
  -- locale.alias.diff - fixed typo for czech language
Then you need to recompile maps with xkbcomp:
  ( cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat ; /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp -llphfR '*' -o 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat.dir )
  ( cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap ; /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp -llphfR '*' -o 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap.dir )  

And that's all! I do not know, why has 3.3.3.1 far better support for sk/cz,
but I'm glad of it.

It's possible, that in X 3.4 you won't need to apply locale.alias.diff.

Thank you very much,
