I was refered to this wiki page when I was trying to build a subset myself.

http://www.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide#head-c35264aacf77e77caeca305a1a9a3da3be6e4fa5

I actually started _my_ build exercise using the shell script
mentioned in that wiki page called: build-from-tarballs.sh
and picking the parts I wanted while still maintaining the
correct build order.
