I don't think I can stress the worth of being able to do that enough btw. I'd never have bothered to even look at a line of xorg code in the pre modularized build days and e.g. just waved away various valgrind errors from x libs, but post-modularization it was a trivial matter to scratch that itch and see was there something in those libs that needed fixing. The build was guaranteed to work first-time without having to read a single how-to-build readme, and was going to be short.
