darwin/quartz/Makefile.am:
noinst_LIBRARIES = libXQuartz.a

It actually gets quartz/xpr/libxpr.a to be rebuilt which gets built  
into Xquartz (not libXquartz)

 From darwin/Makefile.am:
Xquartz_LDADD = \
         ./quartz/libXquartz.a \
         ./quartz/xpr/libxpr.a \
         $(top_builddir)/dix/dixfonts.lo \

Wait no!  I think that's a bad idea.  I was thinking about doing that  
yesterday and undid the changes!

I was going to flatten things out but I realized that this break  
between darwin/quartz/xpr is *GOOD* because it will let us change from  
xpr / miest/rootless to kdrive by simply replacing xpr and allows  
someone to resurrect XDarwin at a later point by making a 'darwin/ 
Xdarwin' directory and implementing the same interface.

There is a dependency problem here, and I can fix it in another way  
that is a bit more "correct":
darwin/*.c should go into darwin/libdarwin.a, darwin/quartz/*.[mc]  
should go into darwin/quartz/libXquartz.a, and xpr should be where  
Xquartz gets built linking to those two.

As an end goal (seeing kdrive based X server down the road), we can  
probably make xpr into a dylib which gets dlopen'd by our app bundle  
based on defaults (choosing between the xpr one, the kdrive one, a  
resurrected cr, etc).
