Fair enough, I was wrong :)

Is there anyone out there on "recent" systems that doesn't use Xorg 
libraries? I mean, even OSX ships Xorg Xlib (with .pc files). I'm not 
sure about Solaris, with their Xsun server, if it had its own 
implementation of the client-side libs... has this changed with recent 
Solaris versions?

Would it be advisable to tell all those packages to use only pkg-config, 
ie through a formal deprecation of the AC_PATH_X macros?

Just wondering.

Thanks
