Daniel: Please don't even think about that. Xaw is used by MANY MANY
applications - even new ones - and has become more or less a (de facto)
"industry standard". All X vendors ship it and will likely ship it in
the next ten or more years - removing it from the base X11 library
distribution will only cause (unneccesary) trouble. And remeber that
(nearly) _all_ X11 (diagnostics) tools with a GUI are based on Xaw -
what would you offer as replacement ? And what will happen to
applications like "xdm", "xterm" or the X11 test suite ?
