[Xquartz-dev] quartz-wm appearence

[doh123]

When I had originally set this up it was for 10.4, 10.5 and then 10.6 when it came out.  Using a current at the time Xquartz builds, the default libXplugin on 10.4 and 10.5 were too old and would not work, so I had to include it… just haven't ever changed how I was doing things since then.  I'm redesigning it for the future to  use the ones on the OS if they are new enough versions.

The *new* exception to this is that I expect /opt/X11/lib/libXplugin.1.dylib from 2.7.0 to work on both Snow Leopard and Lion.

This is because "WineskinX11" (my build of Xquartz) is portable and moves from location to location bundled inside an app, and doesn't use the system X11 files, so I had to modify all kinda libraries to get things working perfectly…. but since I made it all up as I went without understanding why some things worked and didn't work, libXplugin was a bit sloppy  :-)
