It's the X server link kit: a kit that allows you to rebuild an X
server without having the full X source. It can be used either to
trimm down a server to include only the driver that you need, or to do
some developement/debugging on a (new) driver.

The documentation is in /usr/X11R6/lib/Server/README.
