    X11r4 suffers from this; for example this comment
    at the top of site.def ... should not be there.

I disagree that it should be removed.  It is a recommendation, not a
requirement.  One of the reasons it's recommended is because that's the way
it's been thoroughly tested.  The X distribution now has thousands of possible
different configurations, and we can't possibly test them all.  I will agree
that it shouldn't be a requirement.  If we have been imperfect in our support
of your configuration desires, perhaps you will forgive us.
