 Thanks, I'll give that a go - maybe not "tonight" (I'm trying to
catch up with two cycle races from Wednesday's TV, building texlive
(from source, with texmf) and biber - and then testing them, and
meanwhile leaving the i686 to build xorg).

 All of these loops are nasty for BLFS.  I did not recall the
harfbuzz/freetype (sic) loop, and I have not been reinstalling
freetype after harfbuzz is installed - what do I miss as a result of
that ?  I haven't been testing the extra facilities provided by
graphite recently, although I always install one graphite font for
libreoffice to use.

 For texlive in 7.7, I planned to have two sets of instructions on
the one page - if you have the binary you can build xindy and
asymptote, but if you do not then you need to install a less-complete
texlive first.  None of the options are nice.  Adding separate pages
for first and second pass perhaps makes things easier for scripters,
and I suppose that after the initial copy-and-paste it does not make
much difference to the editing.  Perhaps I'll try -basic and -full
versions when I get to it.

 If I was doing two pages for libfm, I would call one
libfm-extra-x.y.z and the other libfm-x.y.z.  And, I suppose, put
notes on each of them that the package needs to be built twice.

 As always, other opinions and views are welcome.
