Well, it turned out to be quite simple. You have to use
probuild to create a shell script that will load an
executable with your system's X11 library.

Thanks to Tim Atchison of Progress to get me into the right
direction.

It works remarkebly well, even though we have X11R4
instead of the required X11R3.

I had to use the non-shared library though. When I first
tried to use the shared X library, the linker could not
resolve _event_to_mask.

Apparently, wdsys.o relies on symbols used internally
in the X11 library.
