I understand that people want to create their own list(s), but my
understanding is that whatever the user selects must be built in a
specific order, otherwise their build will not succeed. I thought the
list returned by "build.sh -L" was a list of all possible modules xorg
has to offer, listed in the order they must be built in order to have
a successful build. So my future patch to allow the user to specify an
arbitrary list has logic to compare the user-supplied list to the
"build.sh -L" list so that it can build the arbitrary list in the
correct order.

So I was wondering if having an in-order list of all possible xorg
modules (which is what I assumed "build.sh -L" was providing) might be
of some use to tools outside build.sh.

The most recent patch I provided is the patch to allow a user to
perform arbitrary git or make commands over the components they're
processing. I was hoping that patch would go through first, then a
cleanup for "no-quit", then the "arbitrary list" patch. I was then
hoping further cleanups and features would also be considered.

As we've already seen, a patch I provided a couple days ago has
already needed to be rebased. Had I provided all the patches at once
it just would have meant more work. I'd also like to see a cleanup go
in before the "arbitrary list" patch since it would reduce the size of
any future work/patches.
