Nope.  That variable isn't passed to xmkmf either.

That's ok -- I was just trying to make sure that I didn't have any hard
coded paths in my install.  I try to test all my ports with a
``make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install'' from scratch to flush out any
hardcoding  I missed.  This was just the first time I've done it on an
X-11 port.
