IMNSHO, having to do a --with-xorg175hack on the configure line at
compile time if you need the hack is completely acceptable...and it
is totally ok for someone to compile that hack in if they know they
are going to need it.  Since the fix was from 2010, in some circles
that's still considered "recent" and as such it's possible someone
is still using it.  dunno.  I'd just default the code at this point
to not using the hack but still provide the hack for someone who needs
it, for at least another release cycle...but do it as a nondefaulted
option at compile time...

For the record, I'm not running xorg 1.7.5.  :-P
