I'm not an autoconf hacker, nor do I play one on TV, but I seem to
remember that the real problem is that it's almost impossible to
detect the case where you have a mismatch of headers/libraries for
Xaw/Xaw3D. I'm not sure how you say "wave a dead chicken over the CPU
while dancing widdershins 3 times around the system at midnight of the
new moon" in autoconf.. ;)
That should still be fixed, including a runtime check, on pretty much
every system out there. I have not noticed my autoconf changes being
removed at any point, nor the increase in b0rken Linux builds that
usually results...
Which is not to say that they have not been, of course, but it /should/
just work.(tm)
