Yea that's correct. No analogy here :-) dll are dynamic link libraries. I
wouldn't know the extension for static libraries under windows. In linux you
have both tho'

What package are you trying to compile?
I did a search on my system. Really odd... my older kernels (2.2.19 and
2.4.5) have a x.h (with a small x) under
kernel-source/include/config/input/mousedev/screen/x.h
(2.4.9 and 2.4.14 don't have it)
also I have a /usr/X11R6/include/X11/X.h (capital X)
This is it's top:

This appears to be part of X. Maybe you haven't installed a package. I think
it may be called X-includes or something like that.
Other files I have in that dir are:
bash-2.05# pwd
/usr/X11R6/include/X11
bash-2.05# ls

Perhaps you can check which packages you have installed and look in the
descriptions of the ones you didn't install if they contain those files
