This is a collection of scripts that I'm using to ease the pain of
developing on the X.Org platform. Some cornerstone capabilities:

- Geared towards Ubuntu, since that's what I use
- Makefile to simply full build updates (pulling a lot of repositories and
  building / autoconf'ing)
- Scripts to keep your entire custom X.Org in a prefix inside your home
  directory
- Normal distribution startup will use distribution X.Org
- Helper scripts are available to start custom-X.Org desktop sessions (you
  should install 85rescue-library-path)
- Supports programming on one machine, and actually running X on a different
  machine (though in my setup, all machines are fairly similar in terms of
  software that runs on them)
- Best used with ccache & distcc (Hint: You may want to install your
  distribution's packages and start distccd as a service)

This is not intended to be a released software package, since a lot of
things are *really* specific to my style of working, and to the fact that I'm
mostly hacking on Radeon 3D. However, I put it available for everybody so that
you may take your pick and put together whatever scripts will help your
particular problem.

Note: Kudos go to many other scripts that I've stolen from (particularly the
git_xorg.sh, and probably others about which I've forgotten since then),
and you are explicitly encouraged to steal from my scripts. Consider
anything without an explicit statement saying otherwise to be in the public
domain.
