I was doing some experimentation, so I downloaded the xfree86 code to look it
over.  I was interested, so I went ahead and made the very minimal changes I
wanted in the site.def (I dislike FreeBSD's default of having X installed into
/usr/local) and it built perfectly well.  It actually took significantly less
time to compile than Xorg (the build.sh method I used with Xorg does all that
autoconf stuff, takes forever).  There are probably faster methods to use for
the Xorg build, like, they support jhbuild.  Xfree86 only supports imake, which
is pretty fast, but a lot of folks find it hard to understand.  I understand
imake, but can't really track the jhbuild.
