I guess Fink will have to advise its users for the near future not

I don't see why fink binaries won't work right. They should work
fine since we symlink /usr/X11R6 to /usr/X11... the problem is in
compiling them, right? So compile them on Tiger for now and
distribute them as they'll work on Leopard... then as the packages
get updated to use pkg-config instead of grep-hacks, things should
start to work right on Leopard.
That is infeasible. My impression is that most Fink users (well, at
least me) compile from source, because the pre-built binaries
available are sometimes rather out of date, or simply nonexistent. I
don't have the inclination or the disk space to maintain a Tiger
install just to build Fink...
Note: I don't use Fink, so I don't have a fine understanding of
their build process.
Well, maybe you should start, because a rather large fraction of the
X11 users on the Mac will likely rely on Fink working nicely with X11
changes you make. :-)
