I'm guessing you're the first person to try this without having X
installed already. This serves to demonstrate why that whole symlink
thing is brain-dead.

So develop a patch to NetBSD.cf. I do think if you have UseEtcX11 set
to NO, it won't try to make the links, so "mkdir -p" will succed.
That's the solution I prefer, but I'm not in a position to test it
now, since I've reverted from XFree-4.0.1 back to "stock" xsrc, and
I'm not ready to switch again.
