Point of information: only floppyd itself is linked against any X
library. The others, which *doing* clever things with xauth tokens
[according to the docs, I haven't read the code], don't actually link
any X libraries and thus don't cause any X dependencies. Only floppyd
itself talks to a real X server (using this to validate the xauth
cookie, which is twisted and sick :) So splitting off floppyd *is*
possible, but may or may not be desirable.
