This has been a great little thread. I'm glad to see you all considering
system independence issues as well. FWIW, I think frontends/X or
frontends/Xlib would be a good name. We may also need to consider
something like frontends/unix for common unix stuff although a lot of this
appears to be being supplied, or wrapped up at least, in support/.

P.S. If we were really keen we could start a system/ subdirectory for
holding system-independent files. That would leave frontends/ for
specific toolkit implementations that might share a particular system.
This could help avoid confusion over why a frontends/Xlib dir doesn't
actually contain a "frontend". Then again the Xlib stuff is related to
the GUI-frontends not necessarily the systems. Just depends on what you
define a system as: the OS or the desktop.
