You obviously haven't been building GNOME!  XFCE is a walk in the park
:)  I think only one or two packages don't take the default parameters
for configure (eased further with a config.site), and only one or two
packages aren't named xfce-something-sameversionnumber.  It didn't
even take that long, either.  This was the most scriptable
multi-package build I've done.  Take a ride on the GNOME build someday
to feel some real pain.

In my opinion, a GUI installer doesn't have a place in BLFS.  I
believe you that it's nice and customizable, though, and I'd be
interested in seeing it out of curiosity.
