At spyderous's request, I have built X-modular in a chroot using the
ebuild:
emerge xorg-x11  (which for me is =x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0.0_rc1)
On a SB(2x900), this took about four hours and merged about 90 packages.

When I  build X-modular with my own script, it builds about 139
packages, so it is instructive to see the differences:
1.  For some reason, I left x11-apps/[setxkbmap, xrandr] and
x11-libs[libXcomposite, libXxf86dga] out of my script.

2.  The script installs lots more fonts (adobe, bitstream, font-bh, and
so on).

3.  The script installs freeglut.  I don't remember why this was
necessary, but something in my initial build needed freeglut instead of
glut (even though they are the same thing, so far as I know).

4.  The script installs several xorg-themes.

5.  The script installs xmkmf & friends (imake and so on).

6.  The script installs some extra applications; noteworthy ones are
xconsole, xrdb, xset, along with a few others that matter to me.

7.  The script installs a fairly complete set of drivers:  input-[evdev,
keyboard, mouse]; video-sunffb.

8.  The script installs a few more x11-lib/ packages.  libICE is
probably the only notable one.

Hope this is of some interest,
Regards,
Ferris
