We should really drop this hwd stuff. Apparently some howtos still recommend using "hwd -xa" to generate xorg.conf, but this command will generate a bloated configuration file that is probably not even compatible to the latest xorg-server versions.

I would like to get rid of both lshwd and hwd packages. I don't consider them useful anymore, as there's better autodetection methods available in archlinux.

Removing hwd will fix bug 13448, 13447 and 13630.

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9589 & http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12886 as ddcxinfo-arch is only used for hwd. Also see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=507530#p507530 -- Greg
