Well, _not_ defining them if an Xorg header depends on them can be just
as bad. And <config.h> contains much more, so somebody might be tempted
to use "#ifdef HAVE_FOO_H" or similar which is much more likely to
conflict with other projects.
And <config.h> defines some generic macros like PACKAGE_NAME, so two
different <config.h>s from two different projects will _always_
conflict.
