The HAVE_LIBX11 is a real dependency. See configure.ac:873 for the lines
that generate it. They die if the library is not found.
Any references to HAVE_LIBX11 in the code can safely be removed, or
replaced with
#ifdef HAVE_LIBX11
/* code here */
#else
# error "Mrxvt needs libX11 to compile (and run)"
#endif
Feel free to use any function in libX11. I'm 99% sure you can also use
libXext. At any rate, if there's some library you want to use functions
from (for UTF8 support) feel free -- Just be sure you #ifdef the code,
so that people without the library are not forced into installing it.
