Under X 10, XrLib is one of the more useful and functionally complete toolkits
available.  It was distributed on the MIT X 10.4 tape, along with a complete 
set of documentation.  

If you plan to develop initially using X 10, and later move to X11, you will
not pay a penalty for having used XrLib as your toolkit.  XrLib has already 
been ported to X 11, and will be available on the December 15 X 11 tape 
distributed by MIT. 

The X 11 version of XrLib will require several small changes to your 
application (these are changes caused by design differences between X 10 and
X 11); however, I can guarantee you that the changes will seem like
nothing compared to the changes caused by the X10 to X11 transition!

Hope this helps to make your decision easier!
