Yeah, building on Linux / BSD without linking to X11 and GUI libs is 
what is already in git master, It currenctly fails at runtime but that's 
another story :)

I agree, but being ingenuous i thought that OS X would be enough unix we 
can build the headless vcl code instead of the aqua code. Building 
something you can install with brew / macports / whatever. But really if 
that would require lot of time and pain i'll just add an error in 
configure for these platforms.

I don't think i have even tried that :)
