You mean, the HAVE_CARBON case?  Well, it was outside the
HAVE_X_WINDOWS condition, but someone, I think Kim, changed that.  I
guess it was done to simplify the other builds: the X toolkit and the
GTK one.

Personally, I don't care much how we factor that (src/Makefile.in is a
complex piece stuff, and the fact that it is preprocessed by cpp
doesn't help), as long as it works for all the ports and build
variants.  The --without-x case, btw, is the one most frequently
broken, as it is very rarely used, or so it seems.  I'm surprised that
not one, but 2 separate reports about it were posted just this week.
