So far I can trace it the file x11.pc appeared in xorg's version of X.
So quite a time ago. Note that especially commercial OS are behind when
it comes to renewing X11. E.g. I saw complaints that MacOS 10.4 did not
ship it, and it was first available in 10.5 (2007). OpenSolaris fixed it
in 2008. The commercial Solaris probably still misses it.
Anyway, I think we should use pkg-config if available.
Philippe: Did you already file a bug?
