Hmmm.  Well, I have been considering going to the ultimate source of 
the source, but I have also been wanting the convenience of an rpm
install (so I don't ALWAYS get unneeded dependency problems with
other rpms - not seeing XFree installed when it really is).

It has been a while since I did an XFree source tarball compile.
With the source rpm, when (IF) it builds, you get a host of convenient
packages:  server, modules, this, that, etc, from which you only 
install those you want/need.  When you build the tarball, does it
also produce individually installable binaries and libs or does it
install the whole ball of wax - everything built for an i386 system?
