Subject: Re: Redefining 1.0.1,

Not that I disagree with your sentiments, but consider the following:

- The xterm program still has a dependency on some form of
the Xaw library. Though it looks like it can use any of
about 4 different versions of Xaw.

- The VSW5 testsuite requires Xaw for some of the tests.
I don't recall if VSW5 contains it's own copy of Xaw to use
if one is not provided by the system.

- I'm pretty sure Motif/Open Motif has a dependency on the
Xpm library.
