That is also possible, and seems to be what the previous discussion 
indicated.  More work though.  And it does not solve the error that
doing C-h f x-server-vendor and clicking on the "C source code" link
gives xfns.c when it should give macfns.c.  I think a list of what 
files where used in the link is the only way to solve this.  For a 
build on Mac OSX xfns.c or macfns.c could be used, depending on if it 
was an X build or Carbon build.
