There isn't a dispspecs folder, due to a historical accident.  Probably
should get fixed before 0.8.0  (Added as bug #133406).

Are you happy for me to add the latest bugzilla attachment to CVS (and

Get rid of it!  This is the default value.  (The xds output is too
verbose; I've filed bug #133401 about this)
