Can you use the Xlib backend in R?

sage: print r.eval('capabilities()')
    jpeg      png     tiff    tcltk      X11     aqua http/ftp  sockets   
libxml     fifo   cledit 
   FALSE    FALSE    FALSE    FALSE    FALSE    FALSE     TRUE     TRUE     
TRUE     TRUE     TRUE 
   iconv      NLS  profmem    cairo 
    TRUE     TRUE    FALSE    FALSE 

You need more than just the Sage minimal requirements for R graphics. At 
least X11 development, ideally a working cairo. I think we should just 
disable our own freetype if the OS provides a working freetype (with 
headers). Otherwise you need a pretty large stack, cairo + freetype + 
harfbuzz + ... to produce high-quality plots.
