Go for it.  The X11 code needs to be separated a bit better
from the rest of the code, but it's not too bad (it was completely
separate once).  Please feel free to contact me if you get even
just a little stuck or need help getting your bearings.

I would never dream of dropping the X support though.  
I run acme all the time over ssh -X -C and it is fantastic.
