So far I can trace it the file x11.pc appeared in xorg's ve= rsion of X.
So quite a time ago. Note that especially commercial OS are behind when
it comes to renewing X11. E.g. I saw complaints that MacOS 10.4 did not
ship it, and it was first available in 10.5 (2007). OpenSolaris fixed it
in 2008. The commercial Solaris probably still misses it.

Anyway, I think we should use pkg-config if available.

Philippe: Did you already file a bug?
Not yet, but I&#= 39;d be happy to. Do you mean ocaml or godi's bug tracker? I must say I= 'm not exactly an expert on these issues so I'd understand if you&#= 39;d rather file the bug yourself, for clarity's sake.
