It’s in a branch covered by a pull request.
And before we call it “working”, I’d like to verify that it works _in all
aspects_. For example, does your automatic implementation give the right
results from “fink dumpinfo -eLDFLAGS <packagename>” and “fink dumpinfo
-eCPPFLAGS <packagename>” for packages that BuildDepend on x11-dev?

Please elaborate upon why just allowing individual .info to set CPPFLAGS and
LDFLAGS based on XORG_INCL_PATH and XORG_LIB_PATH from fink-buildenv-modules
isn’t sufficient. Having the environment get set by default by fink is less
transparent to maintainers than doing it in individual .info files.
