R6 added a Type 1 font rendering engine, you'll need to at least
include the Type1 fonts. (hardly any)

IMHO, X11R6 is a pretty big let down (when compared with the amazing
amount of hype the X consortium was giving it).  (Compiled and installed on our
Sparcs at school yesterday).

	o LBX (Low Bandwidth X) is incomplete

	o They broke Sun's KP_* (admittedly _wrong_) keysym functionality,
and didn't fix Xterm to use the _right_ method...  So now your arrow
keys won't work... :)

	o Fresco (the C++ Class Wrappers for X) will not compile under
G++.

	o Display Postscript is... you guessed it... incomplete.

I can't remember the rest, but there were a few more major let downs.
I'm of the school of thought that doesn't much care if things are late
in order to include the promised features.  Basically, it's X11R5 with
a Type 1 font engine, and the XIE, and it took over 3 hours to compile
on our 4-processor 670MP :(

In any case, I'd probably still install it on NetBSD if someone wants
to build it :) :)
