The other ones should just stay the same as they are. virtual/x11 was
different because it was one virtual covering something that split into
hundreds of separate packages. But xft, opengl, glu are just changing
<=xorg-x11-6.99 into libXft, mesa, mesa respectively so that will
require no porting work, just more true "virtual" packages to be added.
