Since verious vendors (I actually have OSF in mind, but I know
HP has their own flavor too) have developed their own flavor of
the intrinsics which define various structures which have different
sizes than the MIT version (generally larger :-( ), might it not be 
a good idea to place Xt header files in a subdirectory as well?

I have seen indications that Xt will become a standard, but this
does not seem to be a reality at the moment :-(

How about /usr/include/X11/Xt.MIT, /usr/include/X11/Xt.OSF etc?
