Here is a patch where I implement a very simple solution, just moving
appresdir to $prefix/lib/X11/app-defaults. The behaviour
of--with-appresdir is unchanged, so package maintainers should not be
disturbed by this change.

I've also updated the NEWS file, and the message at the end of
configure.

If it's OK, I'll commit this patch on master and report it on
automake2.

Regards,

x11.patch
