It is something i had planned on doing next, now that we have a libs stable
and devel xfree86 spell.
I was thinking that anything that had depends x11-libs would also have
optional_depends FONTS (a provider).
We have about 3 font spells already so that would work.
I was also going to make the last two sources in the standard spell(the
documentation) either optional or a seperate spell. SO the xfree86* spells
would only provide libs, server and headers and only comprise of the first
three sources.
Timeframe for this? no idea, it depends upon my freetime, my motivation and
whether or not someone else decides they want to have a look at it before me.
