in mk.conf:

MKX11=3Dyes
X11SRCDIR=3D/path/to/xsrc

in /usr/src:

=2E/build.sh [usual options] release

and then you can use the iso-image target in etc/Makefile.

It works nicely, will work with cross-compiled releases (with perhaps
a couple of exceptions for esoteric targets?), takes appropriate
notice of things like CPUFLAGS (eg, -march=3Dpentium4), and even DTRT
for options like MKCATPAGES=3Dno, MKMANZ=3Dyes and MKPROFILE=3Dno (though
perhaps not yet all of the other similar options that affect
setlists).

I've been running several machines with X rebuilt this way, and rsync
--delete'd over /usr/X11R6.  In fact, I have none left at home using
the old X.

I also gave someone else an iso-image to install from, built this way,
and they seemed happy - another new NetBSD user.

All in all, a massive and wonderful improvement. Thanks Luke and Tyler.
