I have done some initial changes  toward building against upcoming
xorg-server-source package and pushed to branch enh/xorg-server-source.
IMHO we could 

- simplify packaging now more and avoid having tigervnc submodule (as
  well as xorg-server) and have tigervnc upstream in 'upstream'
  branch following git-buildpackage convention and merged into master
  (thus file tree directly  in the root of the pkg-tigervnc)

- use tigervnc's patches directly from their source tree matching to
  the version of xorg-server-source.  E.g. 1.3.0 has  patch for 114
  which seems (haven't built even yet) to apply neatly over 1.1.5.

  If patching of patches becomes needed though -- we could just patch
  them ;)

objections/recommendations?
