OK. I think the gap has narrowed recently but there is still a gap. X11 in base didn't work for me yesterday while testing NetBSD in Virtualbox. That's when I decided to start over again and try modular X. But that refused to build. It's very frustrating at times like this to be told the answer lies in the pkgsrc guide, when the answer clearly doesn't lie in the pkgsrc guide.
