As far as I know (I don't hack on X, I just read the mailing list), the
entire build infrastructure was replaced, and you can now do
"./configure ...; make" etc., and things work in the normal GNU
style.

[X was also modularized so it's not just one huge tree anymore, but
rather a bunch of smaller packages.]
