I think we should continue prefixing all x-based programs with an 'x'.
It's nice being able to walk up to a new system, do an 'ls
/usr/bin/x*' and see which x programs are available. Of course you
have to watch out for special 'xref' or 'xjesus' programs, where x
stands for cross.

Perhaps V11 programs should start with an X.
