I don't know what the situation is now, but the last version of OS X I
installed was 10.4 and X11 was a separate installation from xcode, if I
recall correctly.  Are you sure it is on by default?

I don't mind using system libs

  * if we are sure they are there

  * they are in a consistent location

The reason we switched to static builds was there was so much variation in
where these libs were coming from (macports, fink, system libs) and some of
the versions were out of date, it was almost impossible to ship usable
binaries.

Russell will have to take the lead on this if he thinks it is a good idea,
as he is the OSX build master.
