However, last I tried (a couple of years back, admittedly...) it
wasn't terribly difficult to force the sources to compile without X.
Basically, place R on the operating table and rip out the relevant
internal organs... I.e. you need to remove the entire dataentry.c and
devX11.c and all references to X include files and functions in other
places. 

If you figure out how to do this with proper #ifdef'ing I think we'd
like to have the patches (it is much easier to get right on a system
that doesn't actuallly have X11, and gives an error if one forget to
remove something...).
