Allthough I think the modular approach to Xorg is a good thing, I have 
to agree the xorg-meta port installs A LOT of ports. A xorg-lite port an 
xorg-lite port would be usefull for a user who is planning on installing 
a low-end X windows environment.  I  thought  I read at the 
freebsd-ports list such thing was being worked on some time ago. But I 
haven't heard anything about it anymore for quite some time now. What 
happened to that idea ?
