following hints by Jason Gunthorpe
When using non-native X11, xpkgwedge could be installed before imake
and host.def en up with just the xpkgwedge.def include. This means
that ProjectRoot as set by xorg's host.def is not used and wrong
path names are used. This run time dependency is the easiest way to
ensure proper order, but isn't perfect. Just providing a fixed host.def
and a secondary include file for Lesstif to modify breaks with
USE_XPKGWEDGE=NO, so keep the old approach.
