I think that all packages that primarily (or only) have/use X11
interfaces, should be in $X11BASE.

(this is despite the fact I do use xpkgwedge in some scenarios  :-)

If I don't have $X11BASE/bin in my path because I'm not in front of an
X11-capable display then I don't want to accidentally find something I
can't run, and I don't want my path cluttered with all that stuff even
if I do know not to try to run it.

(I would actually much rather prefer to have a $LOCALBASE/X11/bin et al
than to use xpkgwedge in those scenarios where I use it today in order
to keep third-party files separate from base-OS files, BTW.  I.e. have
$LOCALBASE fully mirror the base system hierarchy, not be a half-baked
variation of the old partial /usr/local mess.)
