Ah, OK. Yes, this works:
#if !defined(FEAT_BEVAL) || defined (NO_X11_INCLUDES)

It is indeed defined. I don't use the feature, myself, but I don't see
any reason it wouldn't work or shouldn't be compiled in if all the code
to make it work is there in the GTK and Vim GTK GUI code.

I build with a standard toolset using ./configure and make.
NO_X11_INCLUDES is only defined in and by the two Mac-specific source
files named above. As one of the code comments says, this is to avoid a
clash between definitions of Boolean in the X11 and Mac header files.
All the actual GTK components compile with the X11 headers included (and
not any Mac headers).

I don't think INSTALLmac.txt needs any modification. It does use
--disable-darwin to compile an X11 GUI, which I don't do (I seem to
remember that it disabled something I wanted--maybe native Mac clipboard
support--I can't remember). At any rate, it is nicer not to need to
supply it, and perhaps future Mac-specific features will rely on it that
we don't want to disable just because the GUI is GTK. So perhaps it
would be appropriate to remove --disable-darwin from INSTALLmac.txt, but
I'm unsure of exactly what the consequences are, and it's certainly not
necessary to change it.
Ben.
