Yes, and it means that to me (the naive user) too
In the past, there was no way to select between X.Org and XFree86 because
it was not needed. If we now need that option then lets introduce a way to
select the flavour by all means but I don't think that:
MKX11=no, MKXORG=no nothing
MKX11=no, MKXORG=yes X.Org
MKX11=yes, MKXORG=no XFree86
MKX11=yes, MKXORG=yes invalid
is particularly intuitive in this regard (since you can get X11 produced
even though you said MKX11=no). Better IMHO to be:
MKX11=no nothing
MKX11=yes, MKXORG=no XFree86
MKX11=yes, MKXORG=yes X.Org
or even:
MKX11=no nothing
MKX11=yes, X11TYPE=xorg X.Org
MKX11=yes, X11TYPE=xfree XFree86
and architecture defaults can be set in "etc/etc.<arch>/Makefile.inc" can
they not?
