Still, I don't know if I like it. Comments welcome.
Maybe it's my English and/or nitpick-mode, but I'm (still) confused
about these:
GUI component options:
Notes: If `athena' is specified for any component, you must use `--with-athena'
to get 3d widgets.
Do all valid --with-athena=TYPE options give me _3D_ widgets? Or should
this be "you must use `--with-athena=3d'"?
(`athena' is implied by some `lucid' options if Motif is
not available.)
I guess the --with-athena=TYPE is needed with implied (not specified)
athena too.
Why say "some", instead of listing the lucid ones that imply athena? If
Motif is available, does lucid always imply it instead of athena where
applicable?
If I don't have Motif or Athena, what GUI components do I get if I say
`lucid' to all applicable options? IOW, does lucid always/sometimes
require Motif or Athena?
