So you are going to have all the machinery to find out where the X
libraries are just to find out whether you need them?

Note that the order should be 'without and with the X libs'. So we
could maybe postpone the discovery of the X libs after the initial
link has failed. Might be doable.

Note that I did not introduce the --disable-x flag. It is a standard
thing introduced by AC_PATH_EXTRA. I am just honoring it correctly. In
this sense I believe the patch is obviously correct.
