Re: New Athena widget configuration (was Re: Problem with `configure --with-sound')

The option `--with-athena' is available to specify the preferred

Perfect. But please make it clear in the docs that you must set one of
the other options to athena for this to be usefull.
Without this option being specified, the user gets libXaw.so
preferred,
with the flat or 3d headers according to the 3d-ness of libXaw.so. This
retains the current behavior of `--with-widgets=athena' -- no surprises
to people who don't pay attention.
Actually I would prefer to have one of the sexier ones be the default
<big>IF</big> we can detect them reliably.
In this vein, `--with-widgets=athena3d' would be the same as the
new
`--with-athena=3d' and `--with-widgets=athena' for backward
compatibility.
Is it really needed to be backwards compatible with a few betas?
