Wow, a lot of information there I wasn't aware of. I didn't test it,
but it looks good. I guess the expected flow is that you download
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/modular/plain/jhbuildrc and then
just run "jhbuild -f jhbuildrc"? That seems very sensible.

Yeah, this seems reasonable. The only thing that kind of bothers me is
that if you cloned modular.git, the default jhbuildrc would not use
the xorg.modules that is sitting in the same tree. I guess it's a
tradeoff, though.

Would be good if someone could update the wiki to reflect these changes.
