Missing pkgconfig files.

Does NetBSD's native X11 provide xdamage.pc and xfixes.pc pkgconfig files? 
If yes, then the x11-links package needs to be fixed to add (symlink) 
them.

Also libXdamage/builtin.mk and libXfixes/builtin.mk files can be created 
that will create the missing pkgconfig files if needed. It is very 
complicated. Some examples are x11/Xrender/builtin.mk and 
x11/xextproto/builtin.mk.

Another alternative is to define XEXTENSIONS_CFLAGS in CONFIGURE_ENV to 
bypass the pkgconfig checks.
