Alexander,
          We should at least be consistent. If we aren't going to
provide maintainers with an expectation that /usr/X11 and/or /usr/X11R
will always exist, how can be rationally allow packages to pass...

--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

on ConfigureParams which then effectively lies to configure about
those locations? Also, how can the nonexistence of /usr/X11 and/or
/usr/X11R not break the many package whose builds currently set
-I/usr/X11/include or -I/usr/X11R6/include on CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS and/or
CXXFLAGS as well as -L/usr/X11/lib or -L/usr/X11R6/lib on LDFLAGS.
Never mind those instances in the cmake builds where CMAKE flags are
passing those paths for the X11 headers and libs.
                Jack
