Let us wait until the end of the week, since I still have a few things to 
work on.

After commenting out some packages (see the latest git logs), all remaining 
ones compile except for xf86-input-evdev, which requires udev. xorg-server, 
as said before, does not pass its tests.

font-adobe100dpi, font-adobe75dpi, font-misc-misc, font-schumacher-misc, 
xcursor-themes, xf86-input-joystick, xf86-input-synaptics and xf86-input-
vmmouse do not install, as they try to install files outside their own 
package tree. For some of them, these are only header files. xf86-input-
joystick, for instance, tries to install joystick-properties.h in ...-xorg-
server-1.12.2/include/xorg/. I think it would be enough to have the file 
copied into ...-input-joystick-1.6.1/include/xorg, right?

One could also work a bit on removing explicit inputs that are made 
superfluous by propagation. For instance, xinput currently has the inputs 
libxrandr and libxext. But libxext is propagated by libxrandr, so it could 
be removed from the inputs.
