Ok, but what does that have to do with moving the include files from
one segregated subdirectory to another?

Ok, thanks.

What the jell are you talking about? You mean this one?

X11R6/ X11R6 distribution executables, libraries, etc (op-

Hmm.

KDE is a pretty X-centric package, I personally have no problem with
moving them to ${X11BASE}.
I believe the reason why it was put into ${LOCALBASE} was because the
default Makefiles that come with KDE want to install into
${LOCALBASE}/kde which Stefan (KDE maintainer) changed to
${LOCALBASE}. Is that the only reason why it's in ${LOCALBASE} and
not ${X11BASE}, Stefan?
