Just a couple thoughts looking over the pruned list. I'm not
necessarily pushing for these to go back in, but just considering both
sides of the coin.

- twm/xdm: Certainly legacy in the window/display manager world, but
it seems strange to install X without one of each. Also, the default
xinitrc runs twm, xclock and xterm, none of which would be available
with the core X installation.

- makedepend: The mesa build depends on this, so you can't get through
a standard X build without it.

- imake/xorg-cf-files: Sadly, some 3rd party X packages still use imake.
