Thanks.  I lean to avoiding confusion being more important, and it's all
changeable.

It's a fair point that configuring pkgsrc with X11_TYPE=modular and
using sets with X is ok, but I don't think pkgsrc being mixed works, and
this build doesn't lead to future pkgsrc being configured for modular.

I think what you're doing is great progress, and with a sharp edge
removed, I cheer you on!
