This is more difficult than it appears - there are two competing
versions of xlibs out there (modular and monolithic). Thus, I think what
we need to do here is specify that this component can also be fulfilled
by a full installation of X11R6.7 (either 6.7.0 or 6.7.1), and leave it
at that.
... but pkg-config support is pretty much essential. So we'd need to
port the pkg-config stuff back to 6.7.1 if we are to depend upon that.
X.Org guys: do I have approval to add this stuff into the tree tonight,
even if I do miss the feature freeze by an hour or two? If we can get
pkg-config support in for all the libraries, paralleling what is in the
modular tree, that would rock, and make the platform release a lot
smoother.
