I also don't remember any ocaml packages which where in /usr/X11R6 and co,
altough we have a few packages which do depend on X (labltk, lablgtk2, etc).

There is the issue of the rpath though, which is removed for some packages,
but maybe not for all, and which by default sets the rpath to /usr/X11R6
stuff.

Maybe we should make sure 3.09.2 has no rpath at all, or move this rpath to
/usr/lib or something ? 

Any comment ?
