Well, I would hate to have to look at it this way, but assuming that one
could drag it over, is it static enough at this point that someone
could do so and split it out manually...?  I would volunteer for this if
I had a site I could offer as a mirror; unfortunately, I do not.

 * While the XFree86 team has done very good work, it has always annoyed
 * me that they have not taken the trouble to isolate their work into
 * specific areas of the X sources.  Their changes are all over the place,
 * so their distribution ends up being essentially an entire X distribution.
 * I've brought this up with them, and they don't care.
