Heh, no I'd shoot myself if subjected to it for too long. Just meeting 
the most minimal requirements for a Java rebuild, and for that, a decent 
WM was not high priority....but will be in about 10 minutes. That's 
still 190 packages in (-LFS packages included but not individual xorg 
packages)...probably just over the halfway point. Now I have heard that 
somebody is actually taking the time to modernize twm, but the only 
evidence I've seen of it is that it still builds against Xorg-7.7. Years 
ago I had seen some pretty elaborate twmrc setups, but I've never taken 
the time.
