This is primarily a bug fix release, including further work on improving
the thread-safety-constructor and making it work with software which had
incorrectly called libX11 functions from inside X*IfEvent() calls.
Highlights:
* Allow X*IfEvent() to reenter libX11 to avoid deadlock from unsafe
calls when thread-safety-constructor is enabled (!150).
* Remove Xlib's pthread function stubs - instead use system provided
threads functions, including linking against any needed pthread
libraries if thread-safety-constructor is enabled (!155, !156).
* Fix off-by-one error in XKeycodeToKeysym for indexes > 3 (!78).
* Allow XNSpotLocation with OnTheSpot (!127).
* Fix Win32 build when -fno-common is in effect (!140).
* Fix memory leak in XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback (!158).
* Add compose sequences for the double-struck capitals ? ? ? ? ? (!144),
Samogitian E with dot above and macron (!147), Unicode minus sign (!163).
* Change <Compose> <^> <-> to mean superscript minus instead
of macron (!162).
* Delete compose sequences that mix top-row digits with numpad digits (!139)
or mix upper & lower case letters (!144).
* Delete some unuseful compose sequences meant for B?po layout (!146).
* Delete compose sequences using leftcaret & rightcaret keysyms (!163).
* Remove KOI8-R character set from en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE (!148).
* Map sr locales to sr_RS compose files (!161).
