Your observation about /etc/X11 and modular-xorg-server is correct.  I 
took a look at the code last night because the Xorg server wasn't 
picking up my xorg.conf file in my PKG_SYSCONFBASE=/etc/pkg.  It turns 
out the server itself ignores any --sysconfdir directive passed to the 
configure script (which we don't pass anyway) and hardcodes the 
following locations to find its configuration file:

	/etc/X11/xorg.conf
	/etc/xorg.conf
	${X11BASE}/etc/X11/xorg.conf
	${X11BASE}/etc/xorg.conf
	${X11BASE}/lib/...

I'm considering putting ${sysconfdir} at the head of this list so that 
these standard locations can be used as fallbacks.

I expect there will be several other modular X.org packages that will 
need similar treatment.

Thoughts?
