Meantime, what would it take to get some Apple-specific support added to

Not sure who's maintaining FindX11.cmake at Kitware - they may be
looking for a maintainer. If your changes can be under the same
license as CMake itself you could post patches - I suspect a number of
people besides BRL-CAD customize FindX11.cmake and would be
interested.
What strikes me about FindX11.cmake is the way the script will grab
multiple X11 library files from anywhere, with no assurance that the
files will be compatible. Since each find_path and find_library is an
independent command we get the behavior I observed, where files are
selected from random locations without regard to compatiblity. Hence,
a copy of Radiance built on my system without my FindX11 changes will
not run anywhere else and may not even run on my system.
I ended up writing code which specified /usr/X11 with NO_DEFAULT_PATH
to get the behavior shut off. I suspect similar code which specified
/usr/X11 and /usr/X11R6 would work for the Apple/XQuartz X server on
every version of Mac OS. Personally, I would prefer that the code use
the native server unless an alternative was specified.
What problems did your solutions address? I've skimmed them, but am
not sure I understand them. I'd also be interested in hearing from
anyone else who has done this, and even people who have done it on
Windows systems.
