I don't know if anyone gives a shit or not but I am playing with this 
again.  I manually ripped the agpstuff from the Makefile last night just 
to see what would happen.  I did get further but it now chokes looking 
for linux/keyboard.h and linux/kd.h.

I am guessing that our only options at this point are either to build a 
hw/kdrive/hurd structure or attempt to fix the xorg xserver which I am 
told is severely broken.

Of course I have received about 3 different stories about x.org vs. 
xserver so far anyway... :-(
