If anyone is interested, X11 builds fairly happily on A/UX if
you use the BSD Makefiles: the BSD compatibility isn't that bad
when used in conjunction with the X11 "don't use whizzo features"
approach to portable software.

Will there be anything for A/UX or Mac II in the X11R3 contrib
tape?  Would Apple turn nasty if I offered to put something there?
