Patch went on okay.  Still have symlinks in the installed .app
bundle.  :(

I tee'd the stdout + stderr output to files for both make [all,
not World] and make install to prove your new lines to the
Imakefiles _did_ get executed, as well the xcodeprojs did get
rerun etc.  If you need this evidence, we probably should convert
this into a bugzilla report for proper tracking & attachments etc.

Other than these pesky build problems, manually fixing them will
result in a wonderfully working X11 system here.  Very impressed. 
Probably getting close to release quality, but maybe Apple will
want to wait for Leopard (I can't afford their $ADC$ prices to be
a tester, was hoping someone would like to mentor me for this…).

Thanks for helping.
