What version are they shipping?

I've talked to them before - they have this fixation that
anything that *uses* X11 should be stored *inside* X11.

That's just plain silly IMHO - I use lots of other things
too - but I don't expect to be stored inside their directory
trees!

    "uses" != "is_a_part_of"

What's more, PLIB doesn't actually use X11 at all - it
uses GLUT and OpenGL - but (in principal) there can be
versions of those that don't use X11...and PLIB is supposed
to be portable after all.

Unfortunately, if you've already seen it in 7.0, it's
probably too late to fix it.  I'll try though.
