No; you need to use --enable-w11 for the "generic" version. And
there's no point specifying --x-includes or --x-libraries in that
case.

AFAICT, you can install both the X11 and W11 ("generic") versions of
XDRIVER (obviously, they can't both be called XDRIVER.exe, so one of
them has to renamed), and modify etc/monitorcap, e.g.:

	x0:driver/XDRIVER:X-windows graphics display: \
	     dev/fifo.1a dev/fifo.1b \
	     ::any terminal
	x1:driver/XDRIVER:X-windows graphics display: \
	     dev/fifo.2a dev/fifo.2b \
	     ::any terminal
[snip]
	w0:driver/WINDRIVER:Windows graphics display: \
	     dev/fifo.1a dev/fifo.1b \
	     ::any terminal
	w1:driver/WINDRIVER:Windows graphics display: \
	     dev/fifo.2a dev/fifo.2b \
	     ::any terminal

and use e.g. "d.mon start=x0" or "d.mon start=w0" depending on which
you want to use. This won't work with anything which has the x0/x1/... 
monitor names hardcoded (primarily tcltkgrass, but then tcltkgrass
only works with X in any case).
