 added to the port in r43754 by Jeremy, "to find X11 libs on Leopard", but
 I wonder if that was to find Apple's X11 libs; if so, that's irrelevant
 now as we use MacPorts' X11 libs. In that case removing this line is
 probably fine. Someone on Leopard should confirm that it still builds
 without that line.

 I confirmed that this package can be built on Leopard with the attached
 patch file "Portfile2.diff".
