I know I'm late to the party, but I'm really wondering what that is meant to 
accomplish.

X_PREFIX is *not* the 'correct' prefix for *anything* but the X11 distribution 
- the fact that there's a truckload of other stuff in there is an age-old 
bug. We *should* be moving stuff *out* of X_PREFIX en masse, but I know how 
likely that is to happen. We *really should NOT*, however, keep putting *new* 
stuff in there.

FWIW, I noticed this change over my libmap.conf entries for the 
linuxpluginwrapper suddenly being all wrong - some pretty gratuitous breakage 
and there's no UPDATING entry for it either.
