I've retrieved

		  ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/R6/xc-?.tar.gz

and untarred it (114MB).  Then I applied

  ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.1.1/patches/XFree86-3.1.1.diff.gz

to the untarred source tree (only 5 files came up as unpatchable:
B4light.ad, Imakefile, XScrnSaver.c, b4light.c, b4light.man).  I did
not untar contrib (disk space limitations), so I figure that's where
those files belong.

After modifying site.def and xf86site.def to my requirements, "make
World >& World.log" fails very early:

making Makefiles in ../Xext...
        mv Makefile Makefile.bak
making Makefiles in ../XExExt...
cd: can't cd to XExExt
        mv Makefile Makefile.bak
../../config/imake/imake: not found

and on until make dies.  A diff -r between /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
and the source config directory still shows a lot of differences,
which spells trouble.  Is there another patch file I should be using,
or another source tree altogether?  Should I just retrieve 

	     ftp.xfree86.org:/pub/XFree86/3.1.1/untarred

and build from there?
