X11

[Jordan K. Hubbard]

Just to follow up to myself, by "we" I mean Apple.  I'm not clear on  
what MacPorts wants to do just yet given that the xorg port doesn't  
have a maintainer.

Maybe I can convince the guy maintaining Apple's X11 to also maintain  
MacPorts' x11, but I make no promises. :-)
