Hmm.  So, if you're spending a lot of time testing little X widgets,
all of which have Makefiles that specify -L/usr/X11R6/lib, having to edit
the makefiles isn't at all annoying?

Makes sense.  Hmm.  Perhaps an alternative solution, and sufficient for most
day-to-day purposes, would be to have something like ld.so.conf suggest
/usr/pkg/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib by default on systems where they exist.
