If it was important, why not go all the way and drop all the athena widget
headers into a completely separate directory? The X11 include directory is
cluttered enough as is. I think /usr/include/X11 should only contain
interface definitions parts of X that have been blessed as standard by the
consortium.

The athena widget headers should be in /usr/include/Xaw in the same
way that the HP widget headers reside in /usr/include/Xw. (Ultimately,
I'd prefer /usr/include/X11/Xaw and /usr/include/X11/Xw).

This is just an opinion.... I'm sure there must be good reasons for
having done things otherwise.
