I'm afraid that by the time I have anything useful, you'll already be 
way ahead of me. I'm doing two traditional builds right now (x86 and 
x86_64) upto just before Xorg so that I can get to Xorg and OpenJDK 
relatively soon (Mesa-9.0 is scheduled for the 5th). But, I'll be sure 
to ping you if I have anything that might be useful after Xorg and 
OpenJDK are done.
