expected to create host.def before building?

Should platform specific cf files be correct so complete xorg can be built 
without making any changes?

For example, building xorg-x11-6.8.99.901.tar.bz2 on NetBSD failed due to 
missing:

expat.h
ft2build.h
freetype/ftoutln.h
freetype/config/ftheader.h

(also missing threadlib.h but that is discussed on other email and I just 
reopened bug #4828)

I added config/cf/host.def:

#ifndef HasExpat
# define HasExpat                NO
#endif

#ifndef HasFreetype2
# define HasFreetype2            NO
#endif

#ifndef HasFontconfig
# define HasFontconfig           NO
#endif

#ifndef HasLibpng
# define HasLibpng               NO
#endif

My question is not specific to NetBSD. Shouldn't Xorg be able to build 
without making any configuration changes?

Also to be done is PAM. NetBSD 3 (to be released) has native PAM.
