Might want to have a look at the xorg-x11 and linuxwacom packages in
Fedora Core 4 for an example of how to build external drivers against
the packaged Xorg sdk.  Gentoo probably has a similar way of doing this.

I haven't attempted it personally, but theoretically, it should compile
against the modular sdk the same way it compiles against the monolithic
sdk.  The modular sdk has some ease-of-use due to using pkgconfig, but
that isn't mandatory or anything.

We haven't yet updated our linuxwacom package in Fedora to build against
the modular sdk, but it shoudn't take more than 2 minutes when we get
around to it.  ;o)
