>  How to use the scripts:
>
>========================================================================
>xorg-build.pl:
>  First it is required to clone freedesktop modules.
>
>  Use "git-config --global xorg-git.protocol protocol"
>if the default git:// does not apply (doesn't need ://)
>
>  Use "git-config --global xorg-git.repository repository-url"
>if anongit.freedesktop.org/git does not apply.
>
>  Use "git-config --global xorg-git.checkout-dir some/directory"
>The default value is "$HOME/anongit.freedesktop.org".
>If you already have a clone, you may set to that value. The script
>doesn't modify any files, just update or checkout.
>
>  Now you can run:
>./xorg-build.pl -v up
>to clone or update the required modules.
>
>------------------------------------------------------------------------
>  Use "git-config --global xorg-git.build-dir /some/build/dir"
>to specify where to build the modules. The default value
>is "$HOME/anongit.freedesktop.org/build".
>
>  Now you can run:
>./xorg-build.pl -v co
>and it will clone from your "mirror", using a command like:
>git-clone file://freedesktop-mirror/path/name path/name
>from the build directory root.
>
>------------------------------------------------------------------------
>  Use "git-config --global xorg-git.dest-dir /some/dir"
>to specify where to install the build. The default value is
>"/usr/local/xorg".
>
>  Use "git-config --global xorg-git-deps-dir /some/dir/deps"
>to specify where to install dependency files. This directory
>must exist if using the -g option.
>
>  If you are installing in a directory that needs root permission,
>you may also need to run "git-config --global xorg-git.sudo-command sudo"
>
>  Also, the script xorg-trace.pl must be in your path. You can just
>create a $HOME/bin and copy it there. Also ensure that $HOME/bin
>is in your path.
>
>  Now you can run:
>./xorg-buil.pl -v -g -d build
>  -v     is verbose mode
>  -g     means it will use strace to generate dependency information
>  -d     means it will build with debug and with some verbose gcc options
>  build  is the script command
>
>  If if fails at some point, it probably is due to some missing external
>dependency that you may want to install. Alternatively, you can edit
>xorg-build.pl and add a 'skip' entry for the module that failed.
>
>
>========================================================================
>xorg-symbols.pl:
>  If everything gone well in the previous step, you can use the
>script xorg-symbols.pl to check for missing symbols, symbols clashes, etc.
>To use it, just run something like:
>
>./xorg-symbols.pl -x | less
>
> -x is just to avoid too much verbose output when resolving a symbol
>in the Xorg binary.
>  You can also use it to check the packages of your favourite distro, by
>using something like:
>
>./xorg-symbols.pl -p /usr -m /usr/lib/xorg/modules:/usr/lib/fglrx/modules
>  -p is the prefix, that defaults to xorg-build.pl's destdir.
>  -m is the module path and ":" can be used to specify multiple paths.
>
>
>========================================================================
>xorg-deps.pl:
>  Finally, the script xorg-deps.pl just parses the dependency information
>generated by "xorg-build.pl -g" and prints the order packages must be
>built.
>  To use it, run:
>./xorg-deps.pl 2>&1 | less
>
>  Note that the order may not look logical, as tsort does topological
>sort, and there is not specific ordering of modules in the "same level".
>
>========================================================================
>xorg-trace.pl:
>  This script is run by xorg-build.pl, it may need some rework to be
>usable in other environments.
