Are you talking about this part of UPDATING:
# sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh
which will merge /usr/X11R6 into /usr/local? You specifically mentioned
"the xorg-upgrade file" yet the only mention of "xorg-upgrade" in
UPDATING is talking about script(1). So I'm a bit confused about your
definition of "xorg-upgrade program." My guess is the mergebase script
is what you want?
