[Radiance-general] X11 support on OSX 10.11?! (?!(?!))

[Guglielmetti, Robert]

Yep, thanks Greg! I just got back to this crap. I just rebuilt clean, now
that Qt AND x11 are on here, and it worked. Yes the def logic should be
re-written, and sorry that got jacked up like that, but that will affect
very few people so I¹m going to not worry about it for now.

Also I think I should have my head examined because I went through all
this because I actually *prefer* the x11 interface of rvu to the more
GUI-ish Qt one. Maybe that makes me some sort of hardcore Radiance dude.
More likely, just old. Dunno. =)
