The problem with this is we need to determine which of these packages
specifically need Xaw8 and for which Xaw7 is fine. Basically, for those
apps which need to print using Xprint because don't have their own engine
to do so, they'll require Xaw8. I'm not willing to remove Xaw8 until I know
that these issues are resolved.
