Cool idea to put it in the package_config file. Unfortunately this is the
"easy" part ;), I guess. 

If there is no way of either specifying a suitable, general purpose
XF86Config or generating a client-speficic one during install, this has to
be done using classes, cfengine etc. anyway. anXious does not seem to be
feasible for this yet, I suppose. 

Does anyone have an idea?
