I think the discussion of the install_name bug has been too much on 
the optimistic side. There had been some anecdotal evidence that the 
bug leads to build crashes here and now and not only maybe sometime in 
the future, and I have now seen one with my own eyes:

mkdir .libs
gcc -Wall -g -O2 -o allwidgets allwidgets.o  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 
-lXt -lXpm -lXext -lXmu -L/sw/lib -lXaw3d ../Mowitz/.libs/libMowitz.a 
-lXaw3d -lXpm -lXmu -lXext -lXt -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lm
ld: ../Mowitz/.libs/libMowitz.a(MwSlider.o) illegal reference to 
symbol: _XmuCvtStringToOrientation defined in indirectly referenced 
dynamic library /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.6.dylib

Note that -lXmu is there on the command line, but libXmu.6.dylib is 
nevertheless considered as "indirectly referenced". It is referenced 
by one of the other libraries (maybe libXaw3d) that was built against 
a non-Apple version of X11.

This crash goes away after Ben's install_name_fix script is run.

So maybe the wording "...bug in the install name of the libraries that 
can cause some software to build incorrectly" is too friendly. This 
one doesn't build "incorrectly", it doesn't build at all.

maybe it should be merged with system-xfree, and if apple's x11 is 
detected, it should be run?

Have all of the wrinkles been ironed out of the Apple X11 patch script
yet, so that I can add a recommendation to the docs?
