i've seen it both ways, i always felt (fwiw) that /usr/X11(R6)?/* was
better, with a symlink from /usr/include to /usr/X(R6)?/include called
X11 to make compiles easier.

but seriously, /usr/X11(R6)?/* keeps it all segregated rather nicely,
and a few symlinks can put it where you expect.

actually having /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/include/X11, etc., as
directories mixes it in too much...
