I do not know where I saw this before. Until now I always included
mk/x11.buildlink3.mk for X but this may not be correct anymore,
hence the question whether the above is the recommended new way to
depend on X (libraries).

Now that you asked, I did a search through pkgsrc. There are actually quite
many packages which include x11/libXext/buildlink3.mk, I counted 269.

The package which made me ask the question is multimedia/dvdauthor.
There is a test for some function in ImageMagick which fails because
linking to libXext does not work. The program does not need X at run
time.
