I didn't know xcode-3.1.2 was officially available (I have had a 
pre-version for a while, which I was not supposed to talk about etc...). 
If this is really out now, the Fink project *must* find a solution for 
the problem of the disappearing /usr/X11/lib/*.la files *now* (I am 
crossposting this to fink-core). I see several possible solutions, but 
none of them satisfactory:

- Require users to have an older version of xcode or of xquartz handy 
for reinstalling those *.la files (which were broken in various ways 
anyway).

- Supply those *.la files from fink (perhaps with a fix-x11 package that 
takes care of the missing xmkmf at the same time)

- create Fink's own X11 package (which looks cleanest, because it could 
at the same time kick out the spurious libpng, libcairo etc stuff and 
reduce incompatibilities in other ways; but the period when we had our 
own X11 packages this was the worst nightmare Fink ever had to suffer 
through)

- educate libtool somehow to live without those *.la files in /usr/X11 
(I don't know if and how this is possible; one proposal was to brutally 
remove *all* installed *.la files in /sw, so that nothing refers to any 
/usr/X11/lib/*.la any more. Or maybe remove all "dependency_libs" lines 
from the *.la files. In Eric's case it would perhaps be sufficient to 
somehow neutralize /sw/lib/libglut.la, perhaps by placing 
/sw/lib/libfreeglut.dylib instead of -lglut on the libtool linker line.)
