My opinion is that if you have an abstraction layer where someone could
theoretically add support for other platforms, it's fine if we only
actually support XFree86 4.3. Just be sure the configure script detects
the situation and doesn't install something that won't work.
If vendors care about the functionality they can add support for it.
