Other approach
Or, if you want to play with an unstable system, use a distribution, which can help you doing that, for example Gentoo or Sourcemage. You won't need a script that way:
root@gentoo ~ $ echo "x11-base/xorg-x11 ~x86" > /etc/portage/package.keywords root@gentoo ~ $ emerge -avuD xorg-x11
(scnr. I know that you'll have to unmask a few more packages in reality. I know that you can do something similar in other distributions. I just don't understand why you are not using your package manager [unless you've got an LFS...])

The script fetches the very latest code from GIT and CVS. No distribution I know off is this bleeding-edge. It makes a large difference in some hot development areas, such as accelerated DRI drivers.

- Thinker your script fails for me.
No package 'xextproto' found No package 'xcmiscproto' found
... ERROR: Command "sh autogen.sh --prefix=/home/paul/3d-pit/install --quiet --cache-file=/home/paul/3d-pit/xorg/autoconf.cache --with-xcb=no" failed in /home/paul/3d-pit/xorg/lib/libX11 Aborting.
- the fix was trivial, just adding those two packages
- okay,it was missing SM and ice too, how on earth did you compile xorg with this script?
