libz is no longer optional for XAW.

Configure already takes care of this by forcing the check for it.  Docs 
may need to be updated.
Funny that you should mention libxpm, though.  I'm a bit torn over what 
to do about this:
- libxpm is still required by configure.  This should be removed.

- Or instead, XPM support could be put back in the XAW client.  This 
would required about 20 lines to handle checking for png vs xpm, and 
loading the xpm.  But I don't think it's necessary.
