Comment(by braden at endoframe.com):

 Using AC_PATH_X in configure.ac causes the option --with-x to be added to
 configure. I filed this bug because providing --with-x to configure was
 not sufficient to find and use X. Reproducing this bug is as simple as
 writing a configure.ac that invokes AC_PATH_X (or find an existing one
 that does), running it with --with-x, and seeing if it actually finds X.

 When I filed this, I'm pretty sure I was using the autoconf port with
 Apple's X11 on Mac OS X 10.4. There's an argument to be made that this
 should only be expected to work if MacPorts X11 is installed. I don't
 think I've tested that; but if it works, I think this can be closed.

 (Incidentally, note that one can provide --x-includes and --x-libraries
 arguments to point to Apple's X11, and that does work as expected.)
