We introduced a new loction for the X11 libaries and binaries, which
makes it harder to compile a program without using pkgsrc.
Yes, there are situations where you need to do that.
It seems other OS have a X11 symlink for such unusal places.
Let me repeat my suggestion: let's have /usr/X11 a symlink
to /usr/X11R6 or /usr/X11/R7 or /usr/pkg/x11 (I know, we don't have
that anymore -- was that the right decision?). Among other things,
this will future-proof us when X11R8 comes out.
