In configure.ac, near the top:

AC_INIT([libX11],
        1.0.99.0,
        [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg],
        libX11)

This indicates the package name is libX11, a version of 1.0.99.0, the
bug report URL, and the tarname is also libX11. If you don't set tarname
and you've got capital letters in the package name, they should get
turned into lowercase in your tarball.

Thanks,
Donnie
