I don't see this as something we have to "support" in the sense of
shipping binaries based on it.  It's more for developers who need to
build on systems that have Xorg 1.1.  Can't you just #ifdef around the
offending code?

However, I also am OK with using build-xorg-git, if it can be made to
work with Xorg 1.5.
