	I do a xmkmf, a make depend, and then a make, an I get back:
	
	Make:  Don't know how to make -lXaw.  Stop.
	
	Now, libXaw.a exists, and is compiled properly, so why is it doing this?
	
	Also this happens sometimes with -lXext and -lXt.
	
	
	Confused in Computerland,

Mistaken jump in logic.  It doesn't say you don't have libXaw.o;
it says you don't have a file named "-lXaw".  Someone has
overloaded the $(LIBS) macro for use in both compilation/linking
and in dependencies.
