    So I'm wondering: is there any chance that the X Consortium folks
    would consider collapsing Xlib source files into a smaller number of
    larger sized files?

Nope.  You are essentially asking for a configuration that would make
non-shared-library implementations result in larger executables in the
normal case, because of the "wonderful" design of unix linkers.
