   Couldn't the distribution be unified under one tree?
   It currently wants to write into /usr/bin/X11, /usr/lib/X11, /usr/include/X11,
   etc. It would be easier on those of us who NFS mount things if the whole
   things was under /usr/X11. I know R4 can be modified to do this, but it's a
   real pain.

This is easy to do by putting the appropriate definitions in mit/config/site.def:
