The Makefile appears to link libraries in from the X source tree, which
makes it more of a pain to get shared libraries linked in.  My guess is
that it does so in order to permit you to build all of the MIT stuff in
one lump, without having to build and install the libraries first.

Is this the explanation, or is there some deeper explanation?
