This raises an interesting question. Should the modules list be the
lowest common denominator?

I submitted patches "[PATCH modular 0/6] Major jhbuildrc and
xorg.modules update" and I gave up in trying to make a list that
everyone will like. In my opinion, the list should be complete and
exhaustive. Users then trim what is not applicable to them.

You can see the list I made at
http://people.freedesktop.org/~gnadon/jhbuild/.

The concept is that xorg.modules is a sample file and everyone is
invited to locally customized it. It is made easy to trim and there is
nothing to add (save for regular maintenance). Basically what we do with
build.sh. There is still no platform checks in jhbuild.

This would take us out of endless adding/remove of modules because it
does not build here or there. At least , we have a chance.
