Comment 4 for bug 524148

Emmet, instead of patching X11.py on build, wouldn't it be preferable to permanently modify the source to reference sonames instead of linker names? I.e. changing libX11.so -> libX11.so.6 and libXi.so -> libXi.so.6 in X11.py.
That way running onboard from the project directory wouldn't require having libx11-dev and libxi-dev installed either. Also arguably X11.py expects a specific ABI already, I just missed to add the version extension.
