Xizzle *is* the old DDX. What I did was take Xizzle's build
infrastructure (the Makefile.am's and configure.ac stuff, mainly), and
dump the X11R6.7 *code* on top of this.

Basically eliminating all the misguided code changes I did; all the
changes are basically in modularDefs.h, or documented in
hw/xorg/CHANGES.

Xorg has been moved to the new DIX - that's what hw/xorg is.
Unfortunately, because Xorg and KDrive need different things from the
DIX, they can't use the same *build* of a DIX - you can't build both at
the same time - but that's the only limitation.
