[Xquartz-dev] X11 2.2.0_rc1

1) Installing the 2.2.0 release over an existing install will not  
delete xmkmf and imake.
2) This is a developer issue, not an end-user issue.
    * I realize that this is not quite that clear-cut.  End-users use  
fink which compiles code.
3) This has an easy workaround and a fix
    * I have also forwarded this issue internally, so it is known by  
the group maintaining autoconf for Apple as well.

I will not be re-adding xmkmf and imake as a workaround for this  
issue.  The real fix is to autoconf.

I am calling 2.2.0 a "full" release, but there is nothing stopping you  
from installing it over the Leopard-supplied X11 just as you all have  
been with 2.1.x to keep imake and xmkmf around.
