jlam 1dcac4b18d Update pkgtool/x11-links to version 0.8:
Use _REQUIRE_BUILTIN_* to specify that the headers/libraries of some parts
of X11 that are available from 3rd parties must be part of the standard X11
distribution or else their symlinks aren't installed as part of x11-links.
This is to allow x11-links to contain all of the parts of the standard X11
distribution.

The problem that prompted this is that newer releases of XFree86-4.x
contain not just new libraries but new inter-library dependencies.  Some
of the X11 libraries present in XF86-4.x that were also in XF86-3.x now
depend on libXpm.so or libfreetype.so, which, from a buildlink
point-of-view, must also be found during the link phase when building
software.

x11-links creates a shadow directory of symbolic links for X11 headers and
libraries to ${X11BASE} under ${LOCALBASE}/share/x11-links. It is intended
for use by buildlink code to cleanly separate out the true X11 code files
from any installed X11 package code files. The X11 hierarchies supported
are:
XFree86-3.3.x
XFree86-4.0.x
XFree86-4.1.x
XFree86-4.2.0
