    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.

We are miscommunicating.  As regards X itself, I took for granted that
that is what you meant.

My question concerns looking beyond X to the free software community
as a whole.  Has there been a broader move towords supporting the GNU
configure and build specs?
