After discovering the "ServerOnly" document in ftp.xfree86.org in the
same directory as X312servonly.tgz, I'm quite embarrassed how easy
it is to build. In fact, the procedure is excruciating simple:
	1. cd .../xc
	2. edit config/cf/xf86site.def
	3. make -f Makefile.ini World

You now have a nice shiney new set of X servers.
