Not with "use_configure no"...

Fortunately you could add args.

I included the rest of the "trick" boilerplate as well.

I already had it shoved down some of my other ports...

I meant "when I am" (using +system_x11). But I was wrong, as it didn't.
Sorta  built anyway, but the configure was all wrong due to ld errors.

It should now work for both ${prefix} and ${x11prefix} again. (finally)
These tricks should probably go into base, rather than into every port ?
