Xrestop package [using JDS build system]

Hey,

This week a whole bunch of Sun software people are involved in a Solaris
desktop performance summit. While Alan was talking about what was
happening in the X server space, he mentioned a useful little tool
called 'xrestop'. Xrestop is a 'top' like utility that can be used to
provide useful information about what's happening in the Xserver in
terms of resource usage.

Since it doesn't seem to be installed by default on my version of Nevada
[hopefully it will in the future], I figured I would create a package
for it. You can used the attached spec file in conjunction with the JDS
build system [shameless plug] to create a package - it's an
easy ./configure;make;make install otherwise. Real useful developer
utility - thanks Alan for pointing it out! :)

Rock on.


Glynn
