If it has to be it has to be but ...
I find this rather ugly.

Isn't there another way

ie it would make more sense to me < albeit a non X11 user >
to have special 'X11' include and lib directories added to the front 
of the normal include and lib paths when compiling X11 applications. 

This should allow for transparent compilation of packages in both
X11 and Win32 mode.

Cheers
