    but look at the dates on the changelog - 4.3.99.12 is September 10 2003.
    That's changelog #437. The XOrg release iirc is a copy of 4.3.99.903
    (changelog #805, 15 February 2004). It also tacks in an unstable
    version of FreeType (have to add some value, I suppose ;-).

    That's 4.4 release (29 February).
