Oh no, not again.  Exactly what are these "certain Xt patches"?  Have they
been submitted to the X Consortium so that they could (hopefully) be
included in the "official" R4 patches?  A lot of people have complained
loud and long about having to keep around a special version of Xt for use
with Motif.  This was supposed to finally not be necessary with Motif 1.1,
but if there are special non-standard patches required for Motif, we are
right back to having to keep an "official" Xt and a "Motif-patched" Xt.
