No problem:
It's already there, but DEC hides it in /usr/include/mit/X11/. The
easiest way to make it compile is replacing

#include<X11/....>    by   #include<mit/X11/....> in the sources.

Now you include pure MIT X11 instead of that DECish staff. This would even
make your ANSI-C happy...... (Oh DEC!)

If you'd like to the real thing, here is Bob Heynis advice:

cd /usr/lib/X11/config
cp Project.tmpl Project.tmpl.orig
cp site.def site.def.orig

Add the following line to the end of site.def:

	#define StandardIncludes -I/usr/include/mit

Edit Project.tmpl, replacing "-lX11" with "-lX11-mit", and replacing
"-lXext" with "-lXext-mit".

Now go to your sources and xmkmf, make Makefile, make.

hope that helps.
