I was unaware of the interface change, and I don't like it either.
I think that build.sh without "-x" should not build X11, and
build.sh with "-x" should build X11. Which flavour of X11 gets built
by "build.sh -x" should be controlled by variables like MKX11 and MKXORG,
with the default possibly changing over time.
To summarise, I'd like to see this:
build.sh release # do not build X11
build.sh -V MKX11=yes release # do not build X11
build.sh -V MKXORG=yes release # do not build X11
build.sh -x release # build the default flavour of X11
build.sh -x -V MKX11=yes release # build the "MKX11" flavour of X11
build.sh -x -V MKXORG=yes release # build the "MKXORG" flavour of X11
