I am not sure. I will look later. Unless someone else volunteers. As it is
now, (at least on two different operating systems I have tested on), libXt
from the xlibs-1.0 release does not build nor install correctly.

My last patch didn't install Xalloca.h, but just patched Xtos.h to contain
some of the needed code. I have only tested a little. I based this on the
xserver/include/os.h(?) code (which I don't think is using autoconf yet).

Yes, autoconf could help for detecting this. I will look later.
