A little consistency hurts when it causes a lot of inconsistency. Most
of the variables in /etc don't have version numbers. For ports,
WITHOUT_GTK, WITHOUT_GLIB, WITHOUT_IMLIB, and WITHOUT_GNOME don't have
version numbers, and those are the ones most similar to this in
functionality.

WITHOUT_X is the one that was documented after it was discussed on
-dco. It's the one users will expect to work.
