Should AC_PATH_X/XTRA be changed to attempt to use pkgconfig as a first choice and then use AC_PATH_X if it isn't found? (I don't know how autoconf deals with dependencies on optional m4 macros but for now I'm supposing this is possible) Or does every package using AC_PATH_X need to create the logic for using pkg-config with optional fallbacks to X11R6 behavior and then try to push those changes upstream (using autoconf/autoconf-patches until the changes are accepted and released.) -Toshio
