Oh, I understood so, sorry. My thought was that his patches were so fuzzy
(mainly were done against his personal XF86 copy) that were nearly unusable.

Before stepping forward, I'll share some thoughts:
I came to this because Wacom drivers need specifically (as probably many
others) some files from the current XF86 build tree. While I could simply get
this files, by Branden's advice, an SDK is more than needed in XFree86 (I
guess that no such package exists in any distribution).
Speaking before really looking into the sources, I tended to think that the
SDK should be a collection of files extracted from the tree, but from sparse
digging in the list archives it seems that:
1) the word SDK appears a lot in the sources...it seems that there is some
support in the tree for this beast.
2) Sven Luther already build such ball of files, but I haven't found any
evidence of his work/fault (again, please don't be too harsh, it was a
*sparse* digging).
Could you please (Branden, Daniel, Michel...) explain a little these issues?
Also, if you have some pointers, would be great. :-P
Regards,
Ender.
