Where in the code is that location defined (note: I am completely new to
that part of the tree) ?

Xprt isn't but HP/UX has support for loading Xprint modules into their
main Xserver (there the term "unified Xserver" comes from - it means an
unified video/print Xserver). At some point our plans are to get rid of
Xprt (to be more correct: Xprt will still be there for embedding (as
it's footprint is very low) and for those people who want a print-only
Xserver) and integrate print support into the "Xorg" server. The patch
for that is already there but it still needs little bit adjustments to
allow that both Xorg and Xprt server can be build at the same time.
