Pardon me as I am not familiar with X-JBuild. What is needed for new
contributors who follow build instructions for the first time is a list
modules for X (similar to what is in build.sh or tinderbox) and run it
on whatever platform they build on without breakage or manual
intervention. They are not even aware some modules build only on some
platforms.

This would go a long way in giving people a good first impression.
