There are three ways I can think of to get the client libraries:

	1) Get the X11R3 tape from MIT, then ftp over from expo
	   the contrib/sgi.patches.Z file and apply the patches
	   the to R3 tape.  Now you can build both servers and
	   libraries.
	
	2) Ask your SGI rep for the "X special tape" which is
	   basically the binaries produced from the above exercise
	   along with #include files.
	
	3) Get the "official" X11R3 release from SGI, which should be
	   available Real Soon Now :-).
