As best as I can tell, -iokit is also not required for Fink's xorg:
{
$ X -version 2>&1
Release Date: 18 December 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.2
}
on 10.4, or for Apple's X11 there:
{
XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
(I tried to check Fink's XFree86, but the Todai .deb is misbuilt not to
have "X" in it, at least on 10.4, and I'm getting low on download
bandwidth)
}
So when we finally get CVS access again it's probably worth removing
that from VirtPackage.pm .
