Right - it will check for X, and if it detects it, it should build crossedit.
If it doesn't detect it, it should skip the crossedit install.

Need to fix a few dependencies in the makefiles.

I'll have to look at this. I also run redhat on intel with X11 libraries in
the same place, and it was working OK. Perhaps I broke it fixing up some stuff
to get it working on sinix boxes.

Have to update that. -server is implied now, since that really all it does.

The mouse method works for the X11 client (shift left click). It does look
like text commands were removed (not sure why I would have done that). It can
be added back in.

Just tried it for myself, and it seemed to work. In fact, I added special
logic in 0.94.4 to strip off leading spaces (so if you did a 'bind pickup 4',
it would remove the spaces between the bind.

Are the above bugs (bind, repeat) also with gtk client or X11? A fair amount
of the stuff above is handled by the UI and not the common code.
