Greetings all.

It is now possible to cross-build XFree86 4.x on NetBSD-current
using the "build.sh" (1) framework, taking advantage of such features as:
    *	cross compilation
    *	read-only source trees
    *	"unprivileged" builds

Various platforms have been converted to this framework, and all
platforms should be able to build everything other than the X servers.
Some platforms have working support for the X servers as well,
including:
	i386 macppc sparc hpcmips vax x68k

This is implemented as "reach over" hierarchy under src/x11.

To enable, set the following mk.conf(5) variables:
	X11SRCDIR=/path/to/xsrc		# Defaults to "/usr/xsrc"
	MKX11=yes

This will enable the building of src/x11 to ${DESTDIR}/usr/X11R6
when performing "build", "distribution" or supersets of these.
MKX11=yes also enables building of the X sets in "sets" and "release".


Thanks to Tyler Retzlaff <rtr@NetBSD.org> for converting most of the
X servers and finishing off what I started.

Enjoy!


Luke.
