If it works, don't change it, but I would have expected "XINITDIR" to be
"$XINITDIR".
It seems Apple uses the unprocessed preprocessor file instead of the
real thing here. In a standard xfree86 installation, the XINITDIR gets
replaced by /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit before the file is installed.
But this is a moot point, anyway, because I haven't seen any xfree86
sytem that comes with existing sysresources or sysmodmap files (i.e. the
system wide files .Xresources and .Xmodmap don't exist by default). So
this part of the code is not used, in general.
