Well, it said it was *recommended* (not required) step, and at the time I 
read the instructions I of course didn't yet know that I would need help

I "fixed" the font problem by copying fonts from the old location to the 
new X11BASE directory structure. Once I've done this, the X suddenly saw 
fonts again - and this makes me wonder, what the FontPath in xorg.conf is 
for, if the server apparently ignores its value. But I guess that this is 
not the question to the X porters.

The *exact* problem, as far as I've determined it, is that the 
xorg-libraries package simply does not compile/install, like this:
