This isn't as easy as it sounds because there are interactions between
so many different pieces.  Back when X.org/XFree86 was a small number
of ports (basically server, libraries and base clients), it wouldn't
have been too hard.  X.org now comprises something like 250 pieces
with not-very-well documented interactions.

It might help if X.org could be cleanly split into client ports and
server ports but even that's not possible because they both depend
on a number of X-related libraries.
