Well as I should have done from the start, I finally got around to reading 
the INSTALL document. Basically it's as simple as editing the site.def
document in the config directory and doing a 'make World'. Took a couple of
hours on my older machine. Also I had a couple of bugs from the patches. But
it did compile and it works. The only thing I'm left with is trying to get
both copies of X to run at the same time.
