I'm a little confused. Do you mean /usr/local/X11/lib/libX11.so? Isn't
that the standard X library? Or do you mean /usr/local/X11/lib/X11/...?
Heh, shows how obscure this feature is... Unix Xconq has the ability
to load additional image bitmaps from <xconqdir>/lib-x11, in addition
to the image data it normally collects from <xconqdir>/lib and
<xconqdir>/images. The theory was supposed to be that you could be
editing on a unit's bitmap, put it in lib-x11 and see its effect right
away, rather than having to run x2imf and modify imf.dir etc. So this
is a convenience for game designers more than anything else. But if
nobody is using it, no point to retaining...
