Alexander,
This is why I was pushing Hanspeter to expand the
fink-buildenv-modules to provide XORG_INCL_PATH and XORG_LINK_PATH
environmental variables which are automagically set appropriately for
the OS release. As soon as those land in fink, I'll start to use them
but I am waiting on Hanspeter here.
