This is just like I mentioned in a few emails the past few days.

I also have proposed that bsd.buildlink?.mk do the right thing and use
x11-links if USE_PKGSRC_X=None or NO or Native. And use
XFree86-libs/buildlink?.mk if USE_PKGSRC_X=XFree86 (or
USE_PKGSRC_X=XFree86-libs).

(And also do the right thing for USE_PKGSRC_X=xlibs.)

x11-links is not needed and is redundant for XFree86-libs or xlibs.

This is easy, and I already did for xlibs on one system. And I was
planning to do USE_PKGSRC_X=XFree86 next.

I will look at this again in a couple days ... unless someone does it
first. It will take about 2 minutes of typing -- and depending on machine
-- a couple hours to test :)
