Thank you very much for quick response and this explanation. I didn't see
that message from xorg-clients port because instead of building each part
of the Xorg ports collection separately I builded and installed the X.Org
distribution metaport wich have xorg-clients as a dependecy. If
WITH_SETUID_LUIT could be set during 'make config' I was never missed this
configuration option. What do you think about making the WITH_SETUID_LUIT so?
