[lug] Fedora 10 spec file(s) for building xorg

I decided to take a shot at building the fix for the intel driver for my
laptop (since MythTV is unusable with the current driver when run in
dual head).  Turns out this may be no simple feat.  Aside from updating
the kernel (the easy part) I have to build the newest branch of xorg
along with the new driver branch.  Apparently you need the xorg core
updated to 1.6 for the driver fix to work.  See
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17490#c12

I thought this process might be easier if I could see how F10 does their
RPM build of xorg.  Does anyone know where this information might live?
I assume there are one or more spec files for this somewhere.  Also, if
I manage to build the RPMs, how badly do you think this will hose me
when doing F10 updates?
