Actually, modular X isn't all that hard to script, since all of the packages are fairly new, and their autotools scripts are fairly cleanly written. As a result, most of the dependencies can quite easily be grepped out of the configure.in file. That's how I dealt with it when switching to 7.0 - spent a few hours on a script to grab all the dependencies, build a graph of them, and then write out all my regular build scripts. Took a bit of manual tweaking - the configure.in files aren't *all* perfect, but probably saved a good week of tedious work. Simon.
