It's known that xorg has some libraries with newer libversions than
either XFree86 or Apple's X11. Our website docs _do_ mention that you
can't go to any earlier X11 flavor without rebuilding stuff.

 As a near-term option it's probably worth also amending the
installation message for xorg to mention breakage when trying XFree86
as well as Apple's X11.
