 x11 is optional for source-builds, it's enabled for binary packages.
 
 there is zero fallout, unless you count still broken resolution of
 Qt4/Qt5 libraries.
 
 It's there already for 15 months.
 
 It cannot be hardcoded without the usage of USE_X11=3Dyes as wrappers wil=
 l
 strip the paths.
 
 wontfix unless someone want to teach NetBSD ld(1) about ldconfig cache
 or any other solution that can quickly resolve code like
 `find_library("GL")`.
 
 Disabling or removing the x11 option will break again GUI applications
 written in Python.
