       It sure would be nice if xrdb would define a symbol like X11R2
       or X11R3 based on which version was actually in use.

   It sounds pretty hard to decide what you really mean here.

From my .X11init:
	if [ $HOSTTYPE = hp300 ]
	then
		X11VERSION=X11R2
	else
		X11VERSION=X11R3
	fi
	xrdb -D$X11VERSION -load $HOME/.X11defaults

From my .X11toolstart:
	#ifdef X11R2
	*Font:	courr12
	#else
	*Font:	*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
	#endif

This depends upon our knowing that HP hasn't shipped R3 yet, or at
least that we don't have it installed yet.  When we get R3 on our
hp300s all this will have to change.  Is there an easier way?
