Yeah, that might be handy.  You'd need to go through the list of required 
modules from the X server's configure.ac and make a script to download all 
the required git trees.  Please add whatever info you find to the page if you 
end up finding time to do this (jg already added a few more notes, maybe 
those will help you too).

Thanks,
Jesse
