Most of the libraries build ok with 'testing'. Any that don't normally only
need minor changes.
chox11 is quite a bit behind the current X libraries so I've been updating
them to build older version that are compatible with chox11.

The problem with standardising on 'stable' is what happens when the curent
'testing' becomes 'stable'. A whole load of packages will then need
updating. It's easier to keep them up to date gradually instead of all in
one hit.
