imho, it's worth doing because the X rgb database has been severely
criticized for its unfair distribution of colors [1], in particular
darkest one, and a user/sysadm that want to define (add) new symbolic
color names to X can *only* resort to editing rgb.txt
otoh, kpackard himself changed the default behaviour...
to sum it up, my answer is #define USE_RGB_BUILTIN 0, and i
appreciated very much that you took the time to ask: thank you
ciao
