I've built a number of X.org libraries and applications to uncover missing dependencies while doing the rest of the patch series, and it went fine. We'll see what the autobuilders have to say, though :-) Thomas

It doesn't make sense for BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7 to globally select libraries such as libpng, zlib, expat or fontconfig. For example, if you do a build with just xlib_libX11, then libpng gets built as the last package, without anybody actually depending on it, even if it was selected by BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7. The individual x11r7 packages should select the libraries they need, and add them in their DEPENDENCIES variable.
