Does NetBSD really still need this? There's no reason for X to be
special and have its own directory hierarchy. On Debian the only thing
in /usr/X11R6 is a symlink bin->../bin. AFAIK other major Linux
distributions are the same. So are new versions of NetBSD adding new
instances of the obsolete naming scheme? The files are really ONLY
available under that /usr/X11R7 path and not in any sane location?
