*delurk*

I'd like to eventually submit these for inclusion in MacPorts to  
replace the broken xorg port that currently exists.  As it stands, I  
wasn't able to figure out how to build more than one module (each of  
which needs a separate configure / make / make install step) per  
portfile, so I have dozens of dozens of portfiles out there.  Building  
a replacement for X11.app takes > 200 modules, and I don't really want  
to dump that many portfiles into the main collection.

I've looked and looked, but haven't been able to find a clear example  
of a port with many configure steps.  Can someone point me toward one?

Assuming I can figure it out, we'd probably go with something like

x11/xorg: dummy package with deps on the following
x11/xorg-proto:   prototype-header modules
x11/xorg-libs:    libraries
x11/xorg-apps:    apps
x11/xorg-xserver: X server
x11/xorg-fonts:   fonts
x11/xorg-misc:    misc utilities like imake, etc -- might be able to  
do without this one.
