building xserver

[Jim Gettys]

The other method for building much of the software on fd.o,
(not just xserver) is the jhbuild system, also available
on fd.o.

With a bit more fussing, we'll probably switch to just
using jhbuild in preference to the current build-em
script.

I recommend taking jhbuild for a spin.
