To simplify, xorg-server now depends on xorg-libs and no longer provides 
X11-LIBS. Why? It doesn't actually provide X11-LIBS, but instead depends on 
other stuff that provides X11-LIBS.

As for breakage, my changes *should* not be causing that as I changed all 
apps 
to directly depend upon the proper packages and no longer using the X11-* 
providers. The packages have been left providing X11-* for other grimoires 
(e.g. games) to continue to work until this (some day) hits stable.

Feel free to "cleanup" my changes, but no one else was doing it and it's been 
over a year, so I did.
