Brian de Alwis 6927c60ebf Reworked the packaging of the AMD/ATI proprietary drivers to specify
both stable and unstable releases.  The unstable driver can now
coexist with the stable driver, and will not be picked up by default.

ati-xfree86-bin: Reverted from 8.40.4 to 8.38.6: 8.40.4 is unstable
    and can cause machine lockups and shouldn't be the default.

ati-xfree86-bin-init: removed, and merged initati functionality into
    ati-xfree86-bin-unstable

ati-xfree86-bin-unstable: This packages the 8.40.4 driver.  This package
    provides initiati, which uses the stable driver to initialize the card
    and thus depends on ati-xfree86-bin.

This package installs the AMD/ATI Linux binary driver in a manner
suitable for use on NetBSD/i386 with XFree86 4.3 and above.
This driver enables dual-head support (with or without Xinerama).
This package does not enable accelerated GL support, nor DRI support.
This package installs what is deemed to be a stable version of the
driver, which may not correspond to the latest version released by
ATI. The latest ATI driver, which may be not as tested and thus
less stable, may be available as ati-xfree86-bin-unstable.
