I think this is needed to resolve certain warnings depending on
missing prototypes.  What problem did you have with it?  All compiles
here without warning.

I've just committed a patch that determines X_LIBS and X_CFLAGS in the
configure script automatically.  As your libraries and headers seem to
be in an unusual position, you may have to use the following configure
flags now enabled: 

--x-includes=DIR X include files are in DIR
--x-libraries=DIR X library files are in DIR

Please let me know if this works for you.

Take care,
