yes, I realize this. However:

1. in reality, almost everyone will have the libs installed already :)

2. Who the heck is going to try a "grab from X11", if they dont have
the X11 libs
   installed already?!?!
  And if they dont, they are sysadmins who are smart enough to first realize,
  "hey I'm going to custom build a stripped down, small system without X libs",
 so they are smart enough to realize, "hey I just tried a really
stupid thing, duh i should install the X libs"

:-D
