Yeah, it probably should.

Before you do that, I've pushed a check for xau >= 0.99.2, which appears
to be the first release with the correct 'Requires: xproto' line. The
last version from the two-year-old xlibs CVS repository apparently had a
package version of 0.1.2, so I think this should work. If you can check
that this fix correctly stops your configure, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for reporting this: catching this kind of problem automatically
is definitely a good thing.

Yeah. libXdmcp is optional for XCB, needed only if you want support for
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 in addition to MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1.
