XFree86 lib problems

[Theodore Omtzigt]

Andy:

  That is kinda scary... I see a couple of __db.001, __db.002 etc laying
around so I assume that your action item #1 would get rid of those. I
looked around that directory but all the files are data files so I can't
figure out what that stuff does or is supposed to do. Can you point me
to some documentation that explains what these files do? I don't like
ripping stuff out without really understanding what it does.
