My apologies, after running my scripts again overnight while sleeping I
awoke to an interesting mistake.
I noticed that I accidentally moved libdrm from the extra's directory
to the lib directory. This caused my for loops to break as they do not
seem to respect the '&&', installation continues despite not having
all of the libs built.
My quick fix was a symbolic link from ../extras/drm-*
Mesa's Demos failed on not having libdrm, but it took me a while to
notice where the real mistake was.

Yes, I forgot to mention Modular-Xorg depends on all of those, from
autoconf to zlib.

Interesting idea, I'll look into it. I have been working up myscripts
slowly into something very modular such that I can pass the following:
./install xorg
and then the xorg script would contain calls to the relevant parts in
whatever order:
${SCRIPTS}/doloop proto ${BASIC_PARAMS} ${PIC_CONF} *
or
${SCRIPTS}./doloop lib ${BASIC_PARAMS} ${PIC_CONF} \
lib{lbxutil,Xau,Xdmcp}-* etc..
I try to keep as few dependencies as possible, but perl is as standard
as bash, so that may be something I will look into.

Cheers!
Sorry, I just pulled the same mistake you did. This is seriously
not intentional. Maybe I'll setup some saved blank messages for
hlfs-dev so I donot forget the CC part!
