Sorry, just real busy.  This is a good idea of course.   The best way to 
make sure it does not get lost is to create a bug tracker entry for it. 
  If you create a patch please use CVS CMake.  I guess there is another 
issue.  On the new OSX, X11 is included by default and I don't think you 
need to start it.  I have a patch from someone else that I have not yet 
applied to fix that...
