The xorg-clients approach had one big downside: somehow the xorg 6.9
apps didn't like the 7.0 libs and the changed layout in it. After
looking at fedora, I decided to group programs that belong to eachother
and build them from the autotooled .tar.bz2 files.

The reason for keeping xorg-clients is because the packages have
dependencies to it all over the place. It is a dummy package containing
some dependencies at this moment, nothing more.

The mesa applications were missing in action after committing the
xorg-clients change to testing. I found out these applications were
located in MesaDemos, so I added them to the repositories as standaline
application. There's no need to have them, so it's not a dependency for
other things.
