Scripts for installing xfce-4.4.3

Installing xfce-4.4.3

I'm working on a script I might call XFCE_MAKE_EM for installing xfce-4.4.3 and maybe the upcoming xfce-4.4.6.
The order in which the packages should be built is defined at www.xfce.org but obtaining the source files and defining the exact commands to build them are somewhat moving targets. Tired of these frustrations, I wanted a script that can download the sources and create CUSTOM_TOOLS_SCRIPTS for xfce. These are designed to be included in an automated build with jhalfs, but they can also be built with another script I made -- a custom tools builder script. This time I will build with that.

This is my current list of prerequisites for building/running xfce that has worked:
pkg-config
libxml2
libxslt
expat
freetype
fontconfig
XML-Parser
URI
xorg7
xterm
nss
openssl
pciutils
TMP-ICE-UNIX
cairo
glib-2
pango
atk
tiff
jpeg
gtk+-2
Python
vte
dbus
dbus-glib-bindings
libusb
usbutils
hal
hal-info
alsa-lib
alsa-utils
shared-mime-info
hicolor-icon-theme
xine-lib
xine-ui
libdvdcss
intltool
ttf-bitstream-vera

The TMP-ICE-UNIX is to put the file creation of the directory /tmp/.ICE-unix into the linux from scratch starup files with:

cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles << "EOF"
/tmp/.ICE-unix dir 1777 root root
EOF
