An xorg-lite install

[Scott Robbins]

SirDice's suggestion of a "lite" xorg install got me thinking, and
playing with it.  

I've been trying to pare down an X install to see what I could leave out
and still have a working X, figuring that if, say, I left out a font
needed by an application, that application would install the font at a
later date.

So far, I've gotten it down to xorg-libraries, xorg-server, keyboard,
video and mouse drivers, the fonts suggested in the wiki, xorg-fonts
(which was a cop-out--I still haven't had the patience to delete each
font separately and see when X stopped starting, and, from xorg-apps,
twm, xterm and xinit.  (Without xinit I get startx not found--oops, I
knew that.)  :)

I tried googling for this, but either I'm using the wrong search terms
or SirDice and I are the only ones who like this idea.  Does anyone have
a list of what would be the minimum?  

(I would add to SirDice's suggestion that the xorg-lite should put in
enough fonts so that X starts--his thought, IIRC, was that no fonts
should be included, leaving the installer to pick which fonts he wanted.
I would also include twm and xterm for basic beginnings.)
