---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 I was installing the xorg-libX11 port for the first time today and I tried
 to use the +x11_xcb variant. That variant introduces a circular
 dependency. The +x11_xcb variant adds a dependency on xorg-libxcb, which
 needs python26, which needs tk, which needs Xft2, which needs xrender,
 which needs xorg-libX11. So I had to install xorg-libX11 without +x11_xcb.
 If a user wants the +x11_xcb variant they would have to install xorg-
 libX11 twice.
