Um, speaking of xorg-lite, I was thinking a bit about doing an
option-based xorg install, where you can choose what to install at
config-time via the ncurses-based framework. The options will
propably mostly be related to drivers and maybe some apps in that
case. The drawback is that we might get horrible Makefiles because of
all options and so on... But anyway, what do you guys think? I'm not
even sure if it's doable, it's just an idea.
