Ade Lovett 32f6a2767b Add wrapper, a program that runs an X server after sanity-checking
the environment and any options passed to it.  It is meant to
enhance security on multi-user systems running XFree86 4.x, where
the ability to use a startx script is needed.

If you have XFree86 3.x, do not install this, you do not need it
and it will not work.

This program runs an X server after sanity-checking the environment
and any options passed to it. It is meant to enhance security on
multi-user systems running XFree86 4, where the ability to use a
startx script is needed. If you have XFree86 3, do not install
this: you do not need it and it will not work. If you have no
untrusted users or always run the X server from xdm, you do not
need this (in the latter case, just take the suid bit off your X
server).
