BuildingX script from the Wiki

Heh, should have made that my '5a)', as CPU_CORES and
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL are unused orphans in that script.
Somone probably intended it for the -j[n] argument to make.
Assuming xorg can build safely in parallel, -j2 could be a sane
cross platform default as perhaps most are dual core these days.
I deleted that entire section of the script...FreeBSD.

Guess I was looking for a general one-shot build script... give it a
work dir, get from repos, configure and build, end up with some
sort of installable binaries/tarballs or a runnable hierarchy already
installed in a PREFIX. The old build scripts I wrote for XFree86 don't
exactly work with xorg :-) Getting back into X and the modular build
has made more up front work as I'm totally in the dark about build
order and dependencies. But as usual, once I iterate and make/find
a build script things will be cool.

I will look at this, thanks.

If based on people's suggestions/answers I come up with something
much different than BuildingX I can post that too for whoever. Thx.
