Sorry, I misread and thought 2.61 was sufficient.

Anyway, I'm happy with whatever people do here, as long as
it works well.  Just saying that the X.Org minimum versions
aren't written in stone, but won't be updated at least until
somebody requests it with a good reason.

BTW, is it possible to just remove the dependency on m4 -I
by using explicit paths?  Or are there paths that aren't
known at configure time?
