Its probably unrealistic to maintain that and it will end up in a mess.

If we are going down this route, we should probably have applications
say which flavour of libx11 they want through some virtual namespaces.
virtual/libx11 would mean they'll work with any of the versions.

I'm also not keen on your naming. As Philipp said, it mixes different
naming styles and we should really have one.
