Actually, it would cause 'make world' to fail if /usr/X11R6 were present
but not complete (eg. only libraries were present, say for running emacs),
or not writable (eg. mounted readonly via NFS), or if you built on a
machine with no X and then tried 'make reinstall' onto one that had
X, the 'reinstall' would fail.

You would need to add a writability test too. I would have been happy
with the build or install failing and being ignored, but I couldn't
come up with a way for it to be done tidily.
