Yes, I just found out that the xaw3d maintainer (who happens to
be the same person as the nextaw and xaw95 maintainer) just
chose not to make -dev packages :-\ I bugged both. But this
means that there won't be a freeciv-xaw3d.deb as soon as I hoped.

Could anyone _please_ test? As we don't have xaw3d-dev,
nextaw-dev and xaw95-dev packages there isn't much I can do even
to test.

Otherwise, someone could just tar up the headers for xaw3d and
nextaw and put them somewhere for download? [I assume nobody
would want freeciv on xaw95 ;-) ]


Finally, as a sidenote, if it turns out the patch works with
nextaw shouldn't configure.in be changed?
