Alexander,
What ever happened to the idea of expanding fink-buildenv-modules
in order to provide intelligent setting environmentals to provide the
X11 directory paths? If that ever landed in fink, I would be happy to
switch my packages over to use those. Currently we simply don't have
an easy way to know whether /opt/X11 is present short of adding case
statements for OS X <= 10.7 and >= 10.8 to cover the transition from
Apple X11 to Xquartz.
