 Robert,
 
 I think I foud what "mesa" you are talking about: graphics/libGL. Well
 if you pay attention to the contents of bsd.mesalib.mk then you will
 see that it already recognizes a WITHOUT_XCB knob. That knob is there
 since the update X.org ports to 7.4+, last january. But I don't need
 to tell this to you. have been updating that file for ten  months, so
 you know its contents.
 
 So, in the very end, you are attempting to convince me that that
 giving the user the opportunity to turn off XCB is accetpable in
 libGL, but not in libX11. This is contradictory.
 
 By the way, the assertion that "having a non-xcb enabled libx11 would
 cause weird build/run time issues" is  false.

 omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.
