Compiling 4.7.0 from scratch - comments in xf86site.def are misleading.

On Solaris 8, I had a problem compiling dmxinit.o:
make[6]: Entering directory `/home/sam.sexton/Xvfb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/dmx'
rm -f dmxinit.o

"dmxinit.c", line 139: warning: implicit function declaration: XmuSnprintf
cc: acomp failed for dmxinit.c
The file is not included in the distribution files, but I don't (I hope!) need dmx, so I had to find out how to disable it. The only likely place was in xf86site.def, which had this:
/*
 * To enable building Xdmx, uncomment this.
 *
#define XdmxServer    YES
 */
This to my eyes indicates that it's disabled by default, but I decided not to put too much trust in that, so uncommented the define statement and set it to NO. 
That did the trick, but I think the config file should be changed to make this clear.
