I was sort of hoping you'd comment on this thread, but you must have
overlooked it:

http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2007-June/017305.html

What I ended up finding is that almost all autotooled packages will
find your X installation if they use the macro AC_PATH_XTRA and you
have the imake package installed. What it boiled down to is:

1. Handle special cases one by one. I've only found two packages that
specifically needed to be told where X was if you have all of Xorg
installed: Python and Qt.

2. Add a compat symlink /usr/X11R6 -> $XORG_PREFIX.

I'm fine with either.
