We need a system similar to that of other Fink packages, where both xfree86

we use a build depenency only for system-xfree86-dev (which would be the
part which requires X11 SDK).

It might also be a good idea to deb-ify system-xfree86, at least for Apple's version. We probably can't distribute debs. But we can make a deb from what's already on a user's disk (using hard links could even integrate almost perfectly into a fink build), and then install that deb. The point? This lets Apple's X11 be uninstalled to make room for XDarwin, and be quickly reinstalled if needed--even if X11 is included with the OS and doesn't have it's own downloadable installer.


Thoughts?
