Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [ticket:1364 snorfalorpagus]:
 > Patch attached (for 6.5).
 There's no point patching the configure script; it's generated by autoconf
 from configure.in and aclocal.m4, so any changes will be lost the next
 time that the source files are updated (unless we remember to keep
 patching it, which is unlikely to happen).

 The X stuff is handled by autoconf's AC_PATH_XTRA macro, which uses
 AC_PATH_X_XMKMF, which doesn't recognise the .dylib suffix. At least, the
 version from 2.13 doesn't. Updating to a later version of autoconf is
 probably worthwhile, but it's potentially a lot of work.

 In the meantime, it might be possible to override AC_PATH_X_XMKMF with a
 fixed local version.
