Platform Specific

[David G]

While I have not yet located answers to all my questions I did just
happen across some helpful bits in the git tree of which have recent
changes. For anyone else looking for dependency and module lists and
some relational information you may useful the scripts and lists at:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/modular/tree/

Specifically the xorg.modules and xorg-7.0 modules as well as the
various build scripts have provided me some additional information
regarding dependency and build ordering and such.
