 > Hi.
 > In general I agree, but I have some reservations. If I recall correctly,
 -L/opt/X11/lib is a historic leftover from times where this was definitely
 needed. Before removing it, I would prefer confirmation that libX11.dylib
 is in ${prefix}/lib for all systems.

 This is exactly the issue, that alternative, non-MacPorts, X11 may co-
 exist with MacPorts one, and we get unpredictable linking.
 If there is nothing there, then the issue is just pedantic.
