If the goal is to make the DRI CVS as small as possible, why not go all
the way and turn it into an environment for building only the DRI-related

but that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

That definately sounds like the Right Thing To Do.
Easier said than done.

I'm willing to bet that there's around 100 header files in the XFree86
tree that get pulled into the compilation of the various DRI-related
source files.

Determining what to keep and what to discard would be a long process.

Then, there's the Imakefile system. For every directory with DRI-
related files you'd have to keep all Imakefiles in all parent
directories.

Eventually you'd wind up with a skeleton of the XFree86 tree with
key files scattered throughout.

I'm not sure that the effort involved in setting that up would be
worth it.
