Maybe not. I compiled X several years ago; I had a very small hard
disk by today's standards, so I had to be very creative to find space
for the build. RAM, CPU, and bandwidth were also limited, so it took
a lo-o-ong time to download and a lo-o-o-o-ong time to compile.

Not to mention the fact that I was *patching* X -- I wanted to try
X-Truetype, and at that time you could only get it by patching X
yourself.
