Making it a separate port would ruin the very purpose of the patch,
which is to make it possible to build a light desktop environment,
based on Xfce. I'm attempting to reduce the number of dependencies,
mainly Python. Please refer to the followup to ports/137368.

make an omelette without breaking eggs". Not because I like the
omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.
