wait a minute: 
[19:13 kitchen]/usr/bin> ls -l xmo*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        14976 Apr 18 17:54 xmonisdn*

A less than 30k package? I think we are trying to use a truck to 
transmit a letter here. I have a simpler proposal:

Just drop the depency on xlib and make it recommend or suggest 
xlib.

This is correct, because the package itself, does not
depend on xlib6g, only two minor provided utils.
