It's bad enough that freetype2 depends on xutils, and xfree86 depends on
freetype2... (though one can at least work around it in ugly ways when
bootstrapping a new port, by forcibly setting the freetype-build options to
build it within xfree86 long enough to make xutils build, then rebuilding
it correctly).

Making X Build-Depend on itself would be... augh. I'd have to start pulling
my hair out.
