Ok, well I bit.  I updated it for some points mentioned here (pkg-config and libtool) and took liberty with some others (zlib and png for CVEs, removing xcb as "suggested" since it will now be required).

What's this bit about freetype:
FreeType 2.2.x breaks versions of libXfont before 1.2.0, and all current versions of fnttosfnt.

Is this still relevant?  The line suggests freetype-2.1.x ... I'd been shipping 2.3.x without problem and have been using 2.4.x for a while.  Is this just old news that should be punted?  Should we suggest freetype-2.4.2 or later (to match CVEs)?  Do we need to put out a release of fnttosfnt to fix it?  Is there an open ticket somewhere?  A quicksearch for "fnttosfnt" in bugzilla turned up nothing.


Someone better understanding mesa should update the mesa line.  My guess is that we should just say mesa 7.2 or later:

Mesa 6.5.2 (or git master/head, if building the Git master/head X.Org code). To build GLX support into the X server you must have a copy of the Mesa source available at server build time, and you must tell the server where to find it with --with-mesa-source=/path/to/mesa at configure time. Mesa 6.4.1 is required for xorg-server 1.0.1. Note that Mesa 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 will cause compile errors when building X11R7.1. Mesa 6.5 will work (for 7.1; make sure you have 6.5.2 for building 7.2).
	• Note especially that for using MESA's current GIT/master version (which becomes 7.1), you will need the GIT/master version of xorg-server (which becomes 1.5). 1.4-branch does not work. More information on building DRM kernel driver and MESA + DRI drivers at DRI wiki.
