I think the setup we currently have is pretty much vanilla XFree with only
a few changes to make it a little more machine-independent.  As for the
README, take a look at xsrc/xc/INSTALL.TXT.  This has the instructions
you're looking for (although I'll admit it might be nice to have a pointer
at the top level).

Remember that this is X, tho, so you'll have to add an 'xmkmf' to the
normal process (unless you follow the instructions...)

Don't know about this one.

Instead of doing a "make World", do an "make Everything".  This will redo
all the makefiles and dependencies, but it shouldn't recompile all the
objects.  I managed to cut down compile time on my 68040-based Mac quite
considerably this way.

Don't know about this one, either.

Well, once again, I've got to say X is X, which is a somewhat different
beast than the rest of the OS.  Of course, I'm not responsible for the X
distribution, so I have no idea what the maintainers might be thinking of
doing with it...

I hope this helps a little.

Later.
