[comp.windows.x] what happened to xev in R4?

I noticed that the client xev is not in the mit or the contrib directory of
the R4 release.  This client is useful for showing you what the keycode and
keysym a key has when it is pressed.  This is the only client I know that does
this and is relatively easy to use.  How will people know how to set up their
keyboards with xmodmap if they don't know what their keycodes and keysyms are
for their keyboards?  

Was xev deliberately dropped or was it an oversight?
