No, it's part of the base system now.

No, not at all. Nothing needs to know where "xsrc" is -- you can just
"cd" into "xsrc", wherever it is, and execute

    make build USE_XF86_4=yes

Yes it does! I would think so, yes, or the output of many programs
would look terrible. There is even one mono-space TTF font included,
-b&h-Luxi Mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-adobe-*'. It looks nice
enough for the menus, but not the text (in my opinion).
