Yes, that was the main goal of modularization.   X11R6 and earlier you had
to pull down and build the entire source tree, but different parts change
at different rates, and you don't really need to regenerate and reinstall
all the bitmap fonts that haven't changed in years just to test a new ATI
video driver with a bugfix from last week.
