Thanks to joint work with Ludovic, the problem should be solved. Currently, 
hydra.gnu.org does not pick up the git repository, but at least, locally
xorg-server compiles and passes all its tests.

There is one question I still have concerning a path set by a configure flag,
which I started out by setting arbitrarily:
   (string-append "--with-xkb-output="
                  "/tmp") ; FIXME: This is a bit doubtful; where should
                          ; the compiled keyboard maps go?

Do you have any knowledge or opinion on what we should do here?
I suppose that we need a path to which the xserver can write at runtime,
so it should be outside the store.
