  Why not simply make an imake package for such systems?  It's a single,
small directory in xsrc, with essentially a single source file, a local
include file, and Xosdefs.h from the X tree.  Piece o' cake.  Except if
such programs want the standard X config tree to be present too, but even
that shouldn't be a lot of trouble.
