Do we really have a reason for having these variables, instead of just installing X into /usr like most other packages? As the book notes, the distros don't do this anymore... is there any advantage to inexperienced users in using a separate path by default? Seems to me it would be easier to build into a standard location by default, and let those who know what they're doing change it... it simplifies things, given that users no longer need to worry about setting XORG_PREFIX, fiddling with PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc...
