Got X working, so this is very appreciated.

But pkgin doesn't find it, with your repo (which has it) as the top
one in pkgin's config. This leads me to believe the pkg_summary isn't
up to date.

Also, pkgin will use the bz2 pkg_summary, which is very slow to unpack
on 68030. Maybe it'd be best to only provide the gz?

Cool stuff, but nono is m88k, which is a different beast (Motorola's
attempt at RISC).
