okay..  I improved machtype (specifically with the memory response)
It will attempt to identify the server used, and if not,
just give the fact that it's XFree3.1 (sorry jered, that info
is useful, specifically for olc, where machtype -d is used).

anyway, unfortunately, since some things suck, it seems to show the
memory as part of the Display in olc, but at least it gets through,
and doesn't look half as bad as the SGI thing does right now....

I'm going to put it on the syspacks, but people are going to
have to install it themselves since this is part of /bin/athena, and
we haven't come up with a valid way of updating that.

I will send mail to netbsd-announce to tell people to grab that assuming
I get no bug-reports about it soon...
