xorg-server is not specified as a runtime dependency of libX11 or libxcb
for several reasons:

* not everything that uses libX11 actually needs an X server all the
time (e.g. giflib) or at all (e.g. nas).

* the X11 client-server model allows a choice of X servers, of which
XWin (while preferred) is only one such implementation, or users may
choose a remote connection from another OS (e.g. a Linux box or VM).

Therefore, xorg-server (preferably with xinit) is left to the user to
select for installation.
