	Guy is indeed correct. The version of the Xt Intrinsics we shipped
	with version 2 of our openwin v2 product is indeed the "vanilla" R4
	Intrinsics as shipped from MIT. Unfortunately fix-10 from MIT, which 
	included the patch to update the XTREVISION macro from 3 to 4, did
	not arrive in time to be applied to the product. Apart from this
	omission the Intrinsics are identical to those on the MIT distribution.
