[PD] pd extended and X11

[Derek Holzer]

Is this correct, that GEM now needs X11? Or is it still just PDP? If so, 
then I'll need to update the FLOSS Manual when 0.40 becomes the current 
stable Extended release.

Is there any reason for this, by the way? I always recommend GEM over 
PDP because a) it's better documented and b) it doesn't require extra 
software to be installed...

best,
D.
