help with building X11.app & XDarwin.app w/ x.org on OSX

[Torrey Lyons]

I just fixed a build issue on Darwin, which would stop XDarwin from building 
even without the X11.app patch. This should work fine with the top of the 
tree. On the other hand the X11.app patch is unsupported but should work.

I was planning to get two new things into the next X.Org release: X11.app 
and "fullscreen rootless". The X11.app patch is easy, but not very 
interesting so I worked on the fullscreen rootless first and didn't finish 
in time. So both will wait till just after the release. (The patch I posted 
on Sourceforge was a proof of principle hack. It still remains to clean it 
up and refactor things a bit before committing.)
