That's quite cool.  Are the included fonts easily configurable?  I assume
they're requested using the standard X font naming scheme.

Complete under 1MB including Xlib?  How big is Xlib now?

I think it would be nice to keep 100% conformance at first; otherwise
the desire for other windowing systems grows and we're not really
talking about 100% X anymore.  The biggest benefit of X is that
a huge bunch of already written programs run.
