At the risk of wasting precious net resources, let me answer this
question. The HP widget set was donated by HP to the X Consortium
shortly before the release of X11R2. This widget set is part of the
official "contrib" release for X11R2 and X11R3. The sources should be
available from any X11 archive site. If you have X11R2 or X11R3 sources
and you have the contrib stuff, then you already have the HP widget set.
Look under the contrib directory. 

Note, however, that the XToolkit Intrinsics underwent some significant 
revision between R2 and R3. This revision impacted upon widgets designed
and written for R2. As distributed in X11R3, the HP widget set does not
work properly. There is documentation that comes with the X11R3 release
detailing how to go about converting a widget from R2 to R3 version.
Also, i believe, someone has posted a set of patches that will upgrade
the HP widget set. This patch should also be available from any X11
archive site.
