Here's mine for the XFree86 DDX:
  * Working (including SDK): common, ddc, dummylib, fbdevhw, i2c,
    parser, rac, vbe, vgahw
  * Working-ish for Linux: os-support
  * Not attempted yet: int10, loader, parser, shadowfb, xaa
  * Punted: everything else

I think that, since we're such a small team, we can afford to run
drop-dead day up very, very close to our release.

Right ... that means I'll need access to BSD/Solaris boxes at some
stage, or someone else to do that part of os-support.

For debs, not going to happen. Largely because it's blocking on me, and
there's no way I can get that happening in any reasonable timeframe. Our
X packages need a complete overhaul, and I can't do that quickly.

All the xlibs modules pass distcheck, but Xt is fucked up the butt, and
you can quote me on that. Mainly with the *.ht stuff. I think EXTRA_DIST
is more what we're looking for - anyone?

Can Keith substitute 'eat pie' for this point? ;)
