Just for future benefits, it seems a good idea to occasionally check that the X11 library actually can be built.
The nightly builds check that the library can be built.

My opinion is that this (building the package every time you run "darcs record") is too expensive, and will just mean everyone adds --no-test to their default arguments. Also, Setup won't necessarily find a compiler that can compile the HEAD versions of the libraries. If other developers think it is useful then we could add this test, though, as it's easier to opt-out (by adding --no-test to the defaults) than to opt-in. Thanks Ian
