Not really. I guess I didn't express myself: I meant keep *both* tests, but 
use two different variables for storing them: one for OpenGL-for-XCB and one 
for OpenGL-for-Cocoa.

In any case, is there any Apple system that *lacks* the OpenGL libraries? Why 
do we need to test for it? Let the configure script detect the XCB one with 
pkg-config and let the Cocoa plugin use -framework OpenGL -framework AGL, pure 
and simple.

Right, but that's not using the path you mentioned.
