It doesn't require X11 to be built, per se. However, X11 support is a
compile-time option, so I tried to get smart, and automatically compile
in X11 support if ${X11BASE} was present. The other option would be
to always compile it without X, which I dislike.
Perhaps I should make the X11 compile option dependent on the existence
of both ${X11BASE}/lib/libX11.a, and ${X11BASE}/include?
