Hello colisters:

I've finished the installation of LFS 6.4 without problems.

I'm using BLFS-svn-20090102 in order to completing the installation of a 
server. Many packages installed without problems. I'm installing Xorg 
7.4 with an eye on BLFS-svn-20090102 and the other on BLFS 6.3 (for 
example, I've installed the xorg-server-1.5.3 package with the 
--with-mesa-source=<dir to mesalib source> modifier as BLFS 6.3 reads).

My big surprise rise when I've started to config X. I'm missing many X 
applications which has always been there. I've double checked the 
BLFS-6.3 app-7.2.wget list and the BLFS-svn-20090102 app-7.4.wget list. 
Both of them are similar to ftp.x.org dirs 
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.2/src/app and 
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.4/src/app, but a lot of X applications are 
missing in X11R7.4. The X11R7.2 app. list have 92 items and the X11R7.4 
list only 40.This is the whole list of missing applications in X11R7.4:

bdftopcf (added by BLFS team to BLFS-svn-20090102 wget list)

fslsfonts

xkbprint
xload
xlogo
xlsfonts
xmag
xman
xmessage
xmh
xmore
xphelloworld

Obviously the problem is in Xorg and not in BLFS team.
Anyone knows why this applications (many of them have been in X from 
many years ago and are very useful like xdm) have been «dropped» from 
X11R7.,4 official distro? I'm browsing in deep in the Xorg site but I 
couldn't find it.

Thanks in advance.

J.C.
