Interesting - I've always ex****ted LDFLAGS for that. Even after 20+
years of programming, I *still* learn something new every day. :-)

It's worth noting, if you link against dynamic libraries with this,
then your users will also need to have those libraries installed, and
in the same location. X11 is optional, although it is installed by
default IIRC. Mac****ts is of course a completely separate install.

It's not a *huge* problem; you can simply do***ent that your app
requires the X11 install. For Mac****ts libraries, you can simply copy
them into your .app bundle in a "copy files" build phase, and use
install_name_tool in a "run script" build phase to tweak your app
binary so that the loader looks there for them instead of under /opt.
