I guess raster will say "none" :-)   I plan to move systray to
e/src/modules soon, it's working fine, just missing features, but
works.

E17 binary packages in wiki (listed by you below) is that.

turn it of, it's pointless in most systems as we already have fbdev
and x11, that should work on most systems. As DirectFB, SDL is mostly
for embedded systems with specific acceleration needs, in that case
users will compile it.

also off as it's not complete, at least I remember Vincent saying he
needs to fix it to make E17 work.

just enable ecore modules required by ecore-evas and that matches evas
outputs. in this case, disable directfb and few others.
