Hello Will,

I did the same ~1 year ago for X11R7.6 (just for the components I
needed) and that went pretty easy, basically just updating
the version numbers. 
A quick check revealed 19 patches in x11r7-meta package, they might
need some adjustement.

If you need any help for 7.7, please let me know.

Regards,
Julian
