Subject: emacs-24.3: Xft configure test fails on solaris

In emacs 24.3, configure fails to successfully identify Xft.h usability
during during configure (works in 24.1, did not test 24.2). Here are the
relevant lines from config.log:

configure:12033: checking X11/Xft/Xft.h usability
configure:12033: gcc -std=gnu99 -c -I/usr/openwin/include  -mcpu=v9 
-I/export/local/include -I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/openwin/include 
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include 
-I/export/local/db/sybase/OCS-15_0/include  -I/usr/openwin/include 
-I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/sfw/include/freetype2   -I/usr/openwin/include 
-I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/sfw/include/freetype2   
conftest.c >&5
In file included from /usr/openwin/include/X11/extensions/Xrender.h:28,
from /usr/openwin/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:44,
from conftest.c:119:
/usr/openwin/include/X11/extensions/render.h:29: error: syntax error 
before "Glyph"
/usr/openwin/include/X11/extensions/render.h:29: warning: type defaults 
to `int' in declaration of `Glyph'

This is because solaris requires inclusion of `X11/X.h' before including
`X11/Xft/Xft.h'

Note that ignoring the results (forcing
"ac_cv_header_X11_Xft_Xft_h=yes") results in correctly compiling emacs
with xft antialias font support.

`configure '--prefix=/export/local/' '--with-x-toolkit=lucid'
