Arch Linux's xorg packages don't include the x11.pc and so many new apps don't build, as they use pkgconfig to find X instead of pure autoconf tools. The x11.pc is built through freedesktop.org's xlibs X11 library: http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xlibs/X11/
This task depends upon

The .pc files are used in CVS for the new xorg 6.9 tree. Most software using this type of xorg detection uses 6.9 features anyways, so it's not a good idea to add these things.
I looked in the ubuntu tarball, and we end up adding something like 30 .pc files, which is not very acceptable. Other distributions running Xorg 6.8 or before also don't provide these extra files.

When xorg 6.9 will be released, these files will be included, since it's upstream stuff. For now, we'll leave it this way.
