I am pleased to announce I've just finished porting my system to modular
X. My system now does a clean emerge -Dp world with modular X installed
and no virtual/x11.

Now it would be great if some more of you could do the same with your
systems. (Of course, remember to check before committing.) I've seen
great effort going into this from other people in the past couple of
weeks as well (and earlier!).

The main mistake I've seen while going through packages other people
have ported is redundant dependencies. For example, libXt RDEPENDs on
libSM and libICE so we don't need to also include them. I use an emerge
- -ep $foo | grep lib[SIX] to check for possibly redundant dependencies.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
Donnie
