Diff file comparing Xorg.0 logs

I updated the Xorg-server package to version 1.18.4 this week and was unable to
issue the 'startx' command as a regular user.  I was able to 'startx' as root.

After asking the FreeBSD-misc newsgroup for ideas we came to the conclusion
that the xserver was looking for additional 'llvm' programs after it
successfully found 'llvm39-3.9.1_1 because other programs needed earlier
versions and these were not automatically deleted when llvm39 was installed. 
Why things worked when only the root user started X is a mystery.  I did not
keep any Xorg.0.logs when this was happening, but I attached a .diff file that
was made during my troubleshooting effort.  When I removed all of the latest
llvm packages other than the most recent everyting worked as expected.  My only
hope is that some of my other packages will still function after removing all
of the latest llvm's.
