I definitely use it. I also use it with xf86-video-wsfb. (I have been 
using it for several months, before even in official pkgsrc but still via 
pkgsrc build. I have been using many of the modular components now for 
years also via pkgsrc-wip.)

Thanks for sharing your experience here. In addition to just build 
changes, there has been ongoing improvements to the code itself.

I clipped out your steps, as they are wrong at this time, although I do 
understand that they do provide a way that will work.
