I'm also working on building ports similar to XFree86-4 ones; I have put
an archive here:

	http://www.thinbsd.org/Xorg-ports-2004-05-08.tar.gz

I'm currently running a mix of these ports and XFree86-4.3 parts. Be aware
that this is a work in progress and may not work at all on your machine.

Since the pkg-plist are mostly incorrect, they will not deinstall properly
too.
