How? If libxt and libxt-flat are mutually conflicting BuildDepends, as they
should be, then only one form _can_ be installed at the time of the build.
The possibility of picking up libXt from Xquartz exists of course, but we can
handle that the same way as we handle the possibility of builds picking up
libping, freetype, … from Xquartz.
