[uClibc]uclibclinux & KDrive (Revisited)

Sorry for this email. Today I found mention of similar problems with
XFree86 4.3.0 in the mailing list archive from back in March (hidden with
the codeword "X430" ;) ). Christian suggested then that the complainer
revert back to XFree86 4.2.0, I will do likewise.

Here is a diff for uClibc-apps.html that will remove the link to that wiki
which tends to dissapear, and reflect that no one should try XFree86
4.3.0.

Thanks and forgive my poor mailing list etiquette.
