Except that /usr/bin/ph now expects that /opt/X11R6 is the location. Also,
the the rules for locations of packages would either have it in /opt
(pre-compiled) or in /usr/local (locally compiled). The /usr tree is
supposed to be for QSS only, which is why we wanted it moved to /opt in the
first place.
It would also require that we start building the 3rd Party packages from
source rather then from the openqnx builds. Which would be most
unfortunate. Plus, all the packaged X11 stuff on the 3rd Party Repository
would be expected to use (and be dependant on) /opt/X11R6/.
Please move it back to /opt/X11R6.
