My thought was that there should be no reason to make the user
specify --disable-xim. You should be able to do

  have_x11r6=false
  AC_CHECK_LIB(X11, XAddConnectionWatch,
      have_x11r6=true),
      ,
      $x_libs_for_checks)

 if $have_x11r6; then
   AC_DEFINE(HAVE_X11R6,1,[Define if we have X11R6])
 fi
 AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_X11R6, $have_x11r6)
