It once (beginning of October 2008) was the standard to report these  
details:

  Where do we find X Windows header files?                /usr/X11R6/ 
include
  Where do we find X Windows libraries?                   /usr/X11R6/ 
lib

When I pass --x-includes=/opt/local/include --x-libraries=/opt/local/ 
lib to configure it at least reports:

  Where do we find X Windows header files?                /opt/local/ 
include
  Where do we find X Windows libraries?                   /opt/local/ 
lib


Thinking a bit further on my problem, it seems to be adequate to  
state --x-includes=FOO --x-libraries=BAR on a system with more than  
one X11 installation instead of hoping that my compiler flags will  
work it out... But anyway, I would like to see a positive feedback/ 
report!
