# ls -l /usr/
total 24
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8B Aug 28 16:57 X11 -> /opt/X11
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8B Aug 28 16:57 X11R6 -> /opt/X11
<SNIP> : the rest of the standard directories excluded.
And /opt/X11 seems to have the standard include, lib, bin. etc, ... Also,
# find /opt/X11 -name "Xlib.h"
/opt/X11/include/X11/Xlib.h
This is a (pretty) fresh upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion. I did
have various stuff installed in Lion of course.
