I've noticed this as well.  I have been unable to find out why this is.

I was able to figure out which packages in 7.0 were obsoleted (at least I think I know which ones) so I made a copy of the 7.0 release and replaced the obsoleted packages with their counterparts from the 7.1 partial tree.

I got past the "missing package" warnings I had.  I now get the following error:

ftfuncs.c:57:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
ftfuncs.c:59:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
ftfuncs.c:60:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>

It looks like part of their package still uses the internal headers against the FreeType developer's recommendations.  In the most recent FreeType versions, those headers are no longer exposed for external "public" use.

I get the same error when building the full X11R7.0 release.
