It probably looked overkill at the time :-) Fop is buried under xmlto.

Only libX11 uses XORG_WITH_FOP(no) which will still work as this would
be requesting the version number "no" which does not exist. Only if
someone used XORG_WITH_FOP(yes) would break. I won't lose sleep over
that.

I am wondering if for libX11 we should not take this opportunity to use
XORG_WITH_FOP([1.0]). This fixes the problem where fop crashes in the
nls directory. Few people have 1.0 (not in any Debian distro yet), so it
would be equivalent to the current "no". As more people upgrade, it
would tell us if there are any other problems. I don't recall if there
were other issues. There is some time before next release...
