	I am gathering a "volunteer" group :) that will try to address this
issue proposing patches to all XFree86-4* ports. We hope to:

	1) sync all ports with XFree86-4;
	2) verify that none of the "small" XFree86-4 ports install
	   bits that should be done by another;
	3) verify that the sum of all "small" XFree86-4 ports
	   correspond to the same installation one would achieve
	   from XFree86-4;
	4) turn XFree86-4 into a meta port like others in the tree,
	   e.g., kde2;
	5) both not screw up so that others will want us dead and
	   get approval from the maintainers;
	6) do this before the 20th (we have lifes you know :).

	Regards,
