Target categories/dependencies...

Hi all

	I'm just working on the GGI debs. I've almost got another NMU out,
that will be extremely more convenient to maintain...
	IOW making GGI debs will be a cut-and-dry process from now on after
I'm done.

	Anyway, I was just looking around in the display/ subdirectory,
trying to determine dependencies between helpers and targets. I was
wondering if someone could correct me anywhere I'm wrong in the following
presentation, and answer any ommissions I made?
	I'm looking for a complete list of the targets and helpers, with all
of the current dependencies on each.

for a working X target you need X_common and X.
xf86dga is an accelerated X target; this depends on X_common as well.

aa depends on being run under a monotext-capable environment. Does this mean
it depends on other targets?

fbdev is standalone.
file " "
glide is standalone but depends on libglide, which isn't in debian. Sorry,
people with 3dfx cards. :(
kgi is standalone but requires kgicon. (??) I don't know much about the
current state of KGI.

linvtsw seems to be needed for console switching under the fb target. Does
any other target make use of it?

I have no ideas which targets require the prescense of the mansync helper;
could someone enlighten me?

memory is standalone.
monotext " "
I have no idea what the multi target is. someone enlighten me?
I have no idea what palemu depends on.
what is sub?
what is suidkgi? (heh -- sorry about all these q's)
svgalib is standalone but requires svgalib to be present.
what is tele?
terminfo is a monotext-capable target that can display onto shell sessions
	via terminfo. pretty cool. aa over telnet ;P. Mesa apps displaying to
AA over telnet :P

what's tile?
What's the difference between trueemu and palemu?
what is vcsa?

How does the vgagl helper mesh with the svgalib target? what userland
library does it require to function?

Thanks in advance!

PS -- I realy don't need all of the "what is" questions answered; I just
need to know what depends on what. If you've got time to give me more, I'd
appreciate it greatly though ;). Thanks.
