I need to add a little error-checking to the rules. The gtk
client is the "default" build, so if it needs some "configure"
options - for example, if gtk is in some non-standard place -
and does not find gtk, it builds the stuff linked with xaw
instead of failing.

Also, if you have the potato version of xaw-wrappers, the xaw
binary should not crash! (See below for possible explanation)

This tells me you checked the stuff out _before_ my last checkin
(made around the same time I sent the message that started this
thread). The last one fixes some stuff - including this one -
but it still won't error-check the gtk build.
