Yes, I haven't changed that part of the infrastrcture yet.

No, I explicitly do *not* want to do that. Basically, every include of
mk/x11.b3.mk will be replaced by proper includes of the various
libraries, but give me some time for that.

No, it is intentional. I think both are first X11 programs/libraries and
only secondly graphic/font programs/libraries, that's why. Neither makes
much sense without X11 (even though libXpm could be built without). I
haven't cleaned up the duplicates for now intentionally, as I want to
keep the impact for !modular minimal for now.
