With the last commit i did to my branch (r1361), that btw will never make
it to the list due to it's size (over 6Mb), we now support dynamic
MANIFEST files to ensure the correct file list if building everything or
not.

I did investigate this last issue too. The two perl script could be easily
copied to the install dir, but the manpages can't. The latter need to be
processed and that's still a problem.
I suggest to move these two arch indep files/man pages in another package
other than xutils. I can't hounestly come up with the perfect solution
here. The files need to endup in an arch: all package and the actual pkg
list doesn't have some sort of xfonts-utils or xutils-common.
I would suggest either to use xfree86-common (even if i know that it is
NOT perfect) or to create a new package that contains all these small
scripts like for eg: xutils-common (any name is fine.. get the idea).
Any other good suggestion?
Fabio
