That's not really the right thing, though. You're assuming that I have
libX11 in the same libdir as I'm installing to and I want to use it.
The fact is that configure uses pkg-config to check for x11 and other
libraries needed to link the demos. It certainly was working before
without requiring hardcoding things into the Makefiles.
